New Zealand's Court of Appeal confirmed yesterday that Brenton Tarrant, 32, had filed the appeal last week. The court is yet to set a date for his hearing.
The attack three years ago constituted the deadliest mass shooting in New Zealand's history, and the outpouring of public anger and grief led to major gun-law reforms in the country.
Tarrant left dozens of others with severe injuries in the attack, which he also live-streamed on Facebook.
In 2020, Tarrant pleaded guilty to 51 counts of murder, 40 counts of attempted murder, and one count of terrorism. The court later sentenced him to life in prison without parole, the maximum sentence in New Zealand.
