A court in Australia has denied a bid by a gunman's lawyers to keep the names of his family members hidden due to fear of intimidation. The lawyers for Naveed Akram argued that his mother, brother, and sister live in constant fear of public backlash. The court ruled against the request, stating that the public's right to know outweighs the family's desire for anonymity.
