JE SUIS CHARLIE – We’ll never forget
The Paris attacks of January 7-9, 2015
Another three days, we will never forget!
Today, we honour the victims of the Paris attacks and of the Charlie Hebdo shooting, two years ago.
The editor along with some members of staff, columnists and France’s most famous cartoonists and caricaturists were killed in cold blood, because they challenged ideas and did so with illustrations and words that some people took offence to. Twelve innocent people were murdered and twelve injured that day by the two armed gunmen who stormed the Charlie Hebdo editorial offices in Paris. In a series of five related attacks in the region of Ile-de-France, further five people were killed and eleven wounded.
Freedom of speech and of expression are principles we should actively speak up for every day in our personal and professional lives. We can and should always support these fundamental rights, artistic expression, satire and cultural criticism and exercise them with caution and responsibility.
In memory of all the victims of the Paris attacks of January 7-9, 2015.
We ALL ARE CHARLIE and no one should be silenced for his/her beliefs or opinion.

The truth will make you free; but first
it will make you uncomfortable
Free speech means the right to shout ‘theatre’ in a crowded fire
Because if you don’t stand up for the stuff you don’t like, when they come for the stuff you do like, you’ve already lost
Government has no right to hurt
a hair on the head of an atheist
for his opinions. Let him have a care
of his practices
Religion grants its adherents malign, intoxicating and morally corrosive sensations. Destroying intellectual freedom is always evil, but only religion makes doing evil feel quite so good
If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear
I do not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right
to say it
Freedom of speech does not protect you from the consequences of saying
stupid shit
Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat us
Sometimes people lose their right
to remain silent when pressured
to remain silent
I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an ass of yourself
I would prefer to die on my feet rather than to live on my knees
Proclaim the truth and do not be silent through fear
If you’re not going to use your free speech to criticize your own government,
then what the hell is the point
of having it ?
Most people do not really want others
to have freedom of speech,
they just want others to be given
the freedom to say
what they want to hear
