Je suis Charlie!

As darkness fell across Europe, tens of thousands took to the streets to show their solidarity with those killed by gunmen at the offices of satirical French weekly Charlie Hebdo.

The scenes were replicated across France, in London and around the world with crowds holding placards bearing the slogan “Je suis Charlie”, which means ‘I am Charlie’ in French. Others were seen carrying enlarged versions of the some of the newspaper’s anti-Islamist cartoons.

Meanwhile the website of French newspaper Le Monde last night showed an interactive map of vigils being held across the world in Dublin, Edinburgh, Amsterdam, Brussels, Madrid, Rome, Berlin, Vienna, Moscow, and as far afield as Tunis, Lima, Rio de Janeiro and Madagascar. 

In London, hundreds of people filled Trafalgar Square at a silent vigil for those killed when masked gunmen stormed the newspaper’s headquarters. Many held pens, pencils and notebooks in the air to show their support for the journalists, cartoonists and police officers who lost their lives. 

The gatherings were held as French President Francoise Hollande declared tomorrow a day of national mourning tomorrow in respect for the victims of this morning’s attack. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nobody has the right to take a human life! In the name of  Allah / God / Buddha / Jesus / Jehovah, it matters not how one calls it, nobody has the right TO KILL! Evil spirited humans do that, not the right ones!

Justice for all! Those who have blood on their hands should answer in front of humanity! Paris is bleeding and the whole world cries. God bless the soul of those killed people and rest them in peace!
