Naveed Akram: Alleged Bondi Gunmen's Family Have Received Death Threats
- On Tuesday, Naveed Akram applied to suppress his relatives' names at the Downing Centre Local Court via videolink from Goulburn Supermax, with judgment reserved until April 2.
- Akram's mother, brother and sister say they faced death threats, vandalism, eggs and pork chops thrown at their home, and Akram's driver's licence circulated online soon after the attack.
- The court heard Naveed Akram faces nearly 60 charges including 15 counts of murder and terrorism over the Chanukah By The Sea event that killed 15 people, including a 10-year-old girl.
- Media lawyers argued many details are already public and suppression would be ineffective, with Matthew Lewis SC saying, 'Relevantly here, there is no evidence of an imminent risk'.
- The defence argued a non-publication order would reduce further threats against Akram's mother, brother and sister, warning of catastrophic risk and mental harm despite earlier publications.
