A man accused of killing 15 people in a mass shooting at a Jewish festival on Sydney’s Bondi Beach has appeared in court for the first time since his release from the hospital. Naveed Akram did not enter pleas to the charges against him, including murder and committing a terrorist act. Monday's court appearance focused on extending a gag order that suppresses the identities of victims and survivors of the attack who have not chosen to identify themselves publicly. Defense lawyer Ben Archbold told reporters that it was too early to indicate any intention of pleas. Akram was wounded and his father Sajid Akram was killed in a gunbattle with police after the shooting in December.
