Mayor to visit mosques

Mayor of Auckland City, Dick Hubbard, expressed deep dismay at the acts of vandalism committed on several of the city’s mosques over the weekend and said such acts of intimidation will not be tolerated in Auckland city.

“Auckland city is home to 181 ethnicities and prides itself on being a tolerant and inclusive city, where all people and their religious beliefs are respected.

“We support and value the contribution of the Muslim communities within this city and offer strong support for their continued safety.”

The mayor will make private visits to two of the targeted mosques over the next few days.
