NZ man arrested, facing prison for allegedly spreading mosque shooting video

A 22-year-old New Zealand man has been arrested for distributing chilling footage live-streamed by alleged perpetrator Brenton Tarrant as he gunned down worshippers in a mosque. It comes amid Facebook's own crackdown on the video.

In a statement on Sunday, police said they apprehended a local man who is not believed to be directly linked to the attacker. The 22-year-old is facing charges under Films Video and Publications Classifications Act, which prohibits distribution or possession of material determined to be "objectionable."

"The live stream video of the shootings in Christchurch has been classified by the Chief Censor's Office as objectionable," police said.

The alleged breach of the 1993 law may land the man, who has not been identified, in prison, police said in a statement.
