A radicalised teen who plotted a Christchurch terror attack says he's turned his life around

In July 2017, aged 17, he pleaded guilty to planning to ram a car into a group of people then stab them.

He was sentenced to intensive supervision and regular reporting to court - and undertook intensive rehabilitation.

He also spent time with the Imam of Al Noor Mosque.

Now 21, he says the March 2019 mosque attacks made him disgusted to think of how he could have harmed innocent Kiwis

His supervision order ended on Monday.

Today, Judge Stephen O'Driscoll granted the man permanent name suppression - saying naming him publicly would cause him extreme hardship..
