Je suis Charlie Hebdo

Today’s topic is dedicated to Cabu, Wolinski, Charb, Tignous and all other victims, their families and friends.

On Wednesday, 7th January, gunmen shot dead 12 people at the Paris office of the magazine Charlie Hebdo. Charlie Hebdo is a French satiric newspaper which published lots of controversial cartoons about different topics, like religion, politics and so on.
During the attack, the assassins shouted  "Allahu akbar" ("God is great" in Arabic) and wounded another 11 people, four of them gravely.
"We are threatened because we are a country of liberty," President Hollande said to some reporters of BBC. It’s a tough time, not only for France, but for the whole world. It is our duty to work together and fight against injustice. Seeing as we are bloggers we understand that freedom of the press is a key factor of democry and of utmost importance. Vandalising that human right is a threat to one's freedom. The police has now shot the terrorist attackers.
We are all Charlie!
