AI Summary

long article 4 min

Lawyers for Naveed Akram, accused in the Bondi beach Hanukah festival shooting, are seeking a permanent suppression order to protect his mother, brother, and sister, citing death threats and fears for their safety. Akram and his father allegedly killed 15 people at the December 14th event. The family's lawyer argued in court that continued publication of their names and address puts them at risk, despite police confirming their lack of involvement in the crime. Media organizations are challenging the suppression order, arguing there's no evidence of imminent danger. The court is considering a narrowed version of the order to balance public interest and family safety. Naveed Akram remains in custody, facing 59 charges, including murder and terrorism.
