Mosque attack survivor's walk to reclaim peace

From Afternoons, 1:10 pm on 15 March 2022

Mosque attack survivor Temel Atacocogu has completed his Walk For Peace. 

Temel was shot nine times on March 15 2019 and has had countless surgeries since.

We spoke to Temel earlier this month during his 360 kilometre walk from Dunedin to Christchurch.

Jesse catches up with him today as he finishes his journey. 

You can support Temel's fundraiser here.

Temel Atacocugu plans to walk 350km from Dunedin to Christchurch in the name of peace in order to reclaim the path of the terrorist who attacked two Christchurch mosques in 2019.
