The Australian man accused of killing 51 worshippers at two mosques in New Zealand in March pleaded not guilty to multiple murder and terrorism charges on Friday, Al Jazeera reports.
Appearing in Christchurch High Court via an audiovisual link from a maximum-security prison in Auckland, Brenton Tarrant sat silently as lawyer Shane Tait said his client pleaded "not guilty to all charges".
This is the first time a terrorism charge has been brought in New Zealand.
The self-proclaimed white supremacist has been charged with 51 counts of murder, 40 of attempted murder and engaging in a "terrorist" act over the March 15 atrocity in the South Island city.
