Twenty witnesses in the Bondi Beach terror attack case have been granted anonymity to shield them from escalating threats, as the gunman, Naveed Akram, faces 78 charges for the December 14 massacre that killed 15. The judge stressed the psychological toll of the trauma and rising antisemitism, especially targeting those involved in the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion. The interim suppression order, effective until the NSW Supreme Court hearing, protects both witnesses and victims, amid 230,000 CCTV images and ongoing evidence review. Akram, 24, hasn’t pleaded, with his defense warning of more charges and noting his father’s death during the attack. His next court appearance is August 12 via video link.
