“I am deeply shocked at today’s terrorist attack at the Paris offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo,” said Anne Brasseur, President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).
"My thoughts are with the victims of this horrendous act, and particularly with the families of the dead, journalists and policemen. I hope that the killers will be brought to justice swiftly.”
“While details are still emerging, there is little doubt this was a frontal attack on freedom of expression, one of the most precious of the principles upheld by the Council of Europe."
