A company in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has fired an employee for celebrating last week’s mass killing of Muslims in a deadly terror attack on two mosques in New Zealand.
“Over the weekend, a Transguard employee made inflammatory comments on his personal Facebook account celebrating the deplorable mosque attack in Christchurch, New Zealand,” security company Transguard said in a statement on Tuesday.
The company said the employee was deported by UAE authorities, but did not specify his nationality.
“We have a zero-tolerance policy for the inappropriate use of social media, and as a result this individual was immediately terminated and turned over to the authorities to face justice,” Managing Director Greg Ward said.
At least 50 people were killed when a terrorist opened fire on worshippers during the weekly Friday prayers at the Al Noor and Linwood mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Four suspects — three men and one woman — were detained. One suspected was reportedly released later.
