A Christchurch man who admitted to sharing the livestream video of the mosque killings has been sentenced to 21 months in prison.
Philip Arps, pleaded guilty in April to two charges of distributing objectionable material.
The 44‑year‑old sent a copy of the footage, which was filmed by the killer, to about 30 people soon after the massacre.
Christchurch District Court, said when Arps was asked for his opinion of the video, he said it was "awesome".
Judge O'Driscoll says Arps wanted to glorify the deaths of members of the Muslim community and any sentence short of imprisonment would not be appropriate.
Arps has been in prison in solitary confinement since his arrest in March.
