“What we are witnessing today is an
absolutely appalling and horrific attack on Charlie Hebdo. But it is not just
an attack on Charlie Hebdo. It is an attack on the free press all over the
world, and it has been committed by people who despise democracy and the vital
role of a free press in a free society,” says Mogens Blicher Bjerregaard,
chairman of the Danish Union of Journalists.
Mogens Blicher Bjerregaard, who is also
chairman of the European Federation of Journalists (EFJ), also said:
“The attack on Charlie Hebdo touches us
all, and is naturally reminiscent of the 2006 cartoon crisis. As journalists,
artists and media people, we are deeply affected by such an attack. But we must
not refrain from doing our absolutely necessary journalistic work, or impose
self-censorship.”
“I hope that the French authorities will
arrest the perpetrators and bring them to justice, and that the free press
around the world will be given the protection that is necessary to prevent similar
incidents.”
Charlie Hebdo visited the International
Media Festival of the Danish Union of Journalists last November. Read the reports
here.

L’AJP est profondément
choquée par l’attaque barbare qui a frappé des collègues français de Charlie
Hebdo ce mercredi 07 janvier 2015. Le carnage lâche et abominable dont les
journalistes, dessinateurs de presse et policiers ont été victimes est la
négation de toutes nos valeurs de démocratie et de liberté d’expression.
L’attaque qui s’est
déroulée devant le siège de Charlie Hebdo, dans le quartier de la Bastille à
Paris, a fait au moins 12 morts, parmi lesquels les dessinateurs de presse
Cabu, Charb, Tignous et Wolinski.

La CGT horrifiée par
l’attentat meurtrier à Charlie-Hebdo
Après l’odieux attentat ayant fait plus d’une dizaine de morts et plusieurs
blessés au siège de l’hebdomadaire Charlie-Hebdo, ce mercredi matin, la
direction confédérale de la CGT et le SNJ-CGT, horrifiés, tiennent à assurer
l’ensemble des journalistes et des personnels du journal, ainsi que tous leurs
proches, de leur totale solidarité.
Profondément choquée par cet acte odieux, attristée et en colère, la CGT
rappelle et salue le courage de ces hommes et ces femmes qui chaque jour,
chaque semaine, malgré les intimidations et les menaces, défendent la liberté
de pensée et la liberté d’expression dans notre pays.
Elle souhaite que les assassins soient au plus vite arrêtés et jugés, et que
toute la lumière soit faite sur leurs motivations ainsi que sur les conditions
ayant permis que le siège de l’hebdomadaire ait pu être ainsi attaqué.

Charlie-Hebdo :
c’est la liberté d’expression qu’on assassine
Il n’y a pas de mot assez
fort pour exprimer aujourd’hui la tristesse et la colère de la profession. Le
massacre perpétré contre la rédaction de Charlie-Hebdo est une
horreur qui nous frappe toutes et tous. Quand on tue des journalistes, c’est
pour faire peur à toute une profession, c’est pour faire taire. Attaquer un
journal, c’est vouloir museler la liberté d’expression dans une démocratie.
Le fait que ce soit Charlie-Hebdo qui
ait été visé est un symbole important. Le Syndicat National des Journalistes
(SNJ), première organisation de la profession, tient à assurer Charlie-Hebdo de
tout son soutien en ce moment particulièrement cruel. Il tient à assurer de
toute sa solidarité les familles des victimes, journalistes, employés de presse
comme policiers.
Le SNJ rappelle que,
depuis l’été 2014, pas moins de 5 journalistes sont directement menacés de mort
pour des articles publiés sur des sujets divers. Hier encore, mardi 6 janvier
2015, un de nos confrères du Monde à reçu une quatrième menace
de mort. Le SNJ demande un rendez-vous au Ministre de l’Intérieur pour avoir
connaissance de l’état de l’enquête sur l’attentat commis contreCharlie-Hebdo ce
terrible mercredi 7 janvier et des autres enquêtes concernant tous les
journalistes menacés.
Le SNJ appelle toutes les
rédactions à observer une minute de silence, et à un rassemblement citoyen à 17
heures près du siège de Charlie-Hebdo, place de la République à
Paris.

l’attaque à l’arme lourde du local de « Charlie Hebdo » ayant provoqué un
carnage sanglant avec douze morts selon le dernier bilan et plusieurs blessés
dans un état grave.
La démocratie est attaquée à travers un de ses piliers fondamentaux qu’est la
liberté de la presse. C’est cette liberté essentielle qui était visée déjà en
2013 lors de la fusillade dans les locaux de « Libération » ou l’agression dans
ceux de « BFM-TV ».
Aujourd’hui, le carnage perpétré à « Charlie-Hebdo » franchit une étape
supplémentaire dans l’escalade de la violence et la terreur. Cet attentat
terroriste est le plus important que la France ait eu à subir depuis des
décennies…
Pour sa part, et plus spécifiquement dans le cadre de la défense intransigeante
de la liberté de la presse face à toutes les menaces obscurantistes, la F3C

DJV entsetzt über
Anschlag auf Charlie Hebdo
Berlin, 7.01.2015 – Mit
Entsetzen hat der Deutsche Journalisten-Verband auf den Terrorakt gegen die
französische Satirezeitschrift Charlie Hebdo reagiert. DJV-Bundesvorsitzender
Michael Konken sprach den Angehörigen der elf Toten das Beileid aller 36.000 Mitglieder
des Deutschen Journalisten-Verbands aus. Den Verletzten
wünschte er eine möglichst schnelle Genesung. Nach ersten Berichten drangen
zwei schwer bewaffnete Täter am Morgen in die Redaktionsräume der
islamkritischen Zeitschrift ein und schossen um sich. Dabei sollen elf Menschen
den Tod gefunden haben. Zehn weitere Redaktionsmitarbeiter sollen verletzt
worden sein. Die Täter befänden sich auf der Flucht, hieß es.
„Das ist ein Anschlag auf das Grundrecht
der Presse- und Meinungsfreiheit“, sagte Konken. „Es ist unfassbar, dass in
einem demokratischen und freiheitlichen Land eine Satirezeitschrift in den
Fokus von Fanatikern geraten kann, die mit brutalsten Mitteln versuchen,
islamkritische Standpunkte zu unterdrücken.“ Der DJV- Vorsitzende appellierte an
die französischen Sicherheitsbehörden, die Täter so schnell wie möglich
dingfest zu machen.

« The assassination of journalists at
Charlie Hebdo, cynically targeted on press day to maximise casualties, took
place on press day, is an attempt to assassinate the free press. Our hearts go
out to the families of the 10 journalists and police officers killed in this
despicable raid. The newspaper had already been the subject of attacks by people
who want to supress democracy and freedom of speech. These journalists have now
paid with their lives; the perpetrators must swiftly be brought to justice.
Supporters of free speech and civil liberties must stand together with
governments to condemn this act and defend the right of all journalists to do
their job without fear of threats, intimidation and brutal murder. »

Svart dag for ytrings- friheten
En alvorlig og uhyggelig hendelse. Dette er
en svart dag for journalister og ytringsfriheten, sier NJs leder Thomas Spence
om angrepet på redaksjonen i det satiriske ukebladet Charlie Hedbo i Paris.
Svart dag for ytrings- friheten
Han frykter udåden kan føre til frykt,
redsel og selvsensur i redaksjoner av frykt for å bli angrepet av ekstremister.
Frie, kritiske redaksjoner er en del av
fundamentet for et levende demokrati. Derfor må alle som vil forsvare
demokratiet hindre at lignende skjer igjen. Også i Norge opplever vi at
journalister trues og trakasseres både i sosiale medier, og gjennom konkrete
trusler. Myndigheter og påtalemyndighet må arbeide for å hindre lignende
handlinger i Norge, og alle trusler mot journalister og redaksjoner må følges
opp med etterforskning og nedleggelse av strenge påstander for domstolene, sier
han.

Les journalistes
norvégiens réagissent avec horreur à l’attaque terroriste contre le magazine
Charlie Hebdo.
Vous êtes dans nos pensées et dans nos cœurs en cette période diffcile. C’est
une tragédie pour les victimes, et une journée noire pour les journalistes et
pour la liberté d’expression. L’attentat risque d’avoir comme effet que les
journalistes craignent de faire leur travail de la manière qu’ils jugent
juste et nécessaire. Qu’ils craignent pour leur vie et leur santé.
Nous sommes tous perdants
si nous laissons ceux qui se mettent en dehors des normes démocratiques de
discussion, de critique et d’analyse de décider si et comment un tel extrémisme
religieux doit être traité par la presse. Ça rendrait le débat social
vulnérable à de nouvelles attaques.
Les caricaturistes de
Charlie Hebdo croyaient en la force de la satire pour déshabiller le pouvoir.
Si les extrémistes craignent la liberté d’expression, c’est parce qu’elle
fonctionne réellement. Et la satire parce qu’elle frappe fort. Nous devons en
ce moment crucial étendre la liberté de l’expression plutôt que de la
restreindre.
L’attaque contre Charlie Hebdo
n’est pas seulement une grande tragédie de nos jours. Il fait également partie
d’une longue série de victimes ces derniers centenaires de la guerre
pour la liberté d’expression. Et s’il y a une chose que nous pouvons apprendre
de l’histoire, c’est que la liberté d’expression ne peut sortir gagnant si on
ne se sert pas de cette liberté. Surtout quand elle est sous l’attaque. Donc,
aujourd’hui – et dans les années à venir – nous devons tous oser être Charlie
Hebdo.

The Norwegian Union of Journalists react
with horror at the terrorist attack on the magazine Charlie Hebdo.
We stand behind you in this difficult
time. It is a tragedy for the victims, and a black day for journalists and
freedom of expression. Our thoughts are with you.
The danger is that the heinous attack
scare journalists and editors worldwide from doing the job they have to do, for
fear of the consequences. We will all loose if we let those who put
themselves outside the democratic norms of discussion, criticism and analysis,
decide whether and how such religious extremism should be covered. The
debate would be restricted and vulnerable to new attacks.
The cartoonists in Charlie Hebdo
believed that satire can reveal power. We owe them to stick to this thought.
Extremists fear freedom of expression because it actually works. Satire because
it actually hit. And we owe them to stick to free speech, to extend it instead
of restricting it.
Charlie Hebdo is not just a tragedy of
today, it is also one of the victims in a long series of victims in the
centuries-old war for freedom of expression. If there is one thing we can learn
from history, it is that freedom of expression only succeed when it is used.
Not at least when it is under attack. So today – and in the years ahead –
we must all dare to be Charlie Hebdo.

Horrified by killing crusade on journalists
of The Charlie Hebdo
Croatian Journalists’ Association (CJA) is
horrified by terrible terrorist attack on satirical newspaper Charlie
Hebdo in Paris and by killing at least 12 persons. This is
unprecedented attack on journalists and media employees, even policemen. That
journalism is dangerous profession in this time of raising terrorism is
needless to say.
This is an attack on journalistic and media
freedom. And this day will certainly be remembered in the history of
journalism. Its consequences will echo for years to come.
The Charlie Hebdo published caricature of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, leader of
so-called Islam State on Twitter. The newsroom was attacked and burned down by
bomb even in 2011, after publishing caricature of Mohammad the Prophet.

its sincere condolences to victims’ families and will send letter of solidarity

violence.
France has always been a lighthouse of
freedom and we believe it will continue to hold the torch of media freedom brightly
lit and high – in spite of all threats.
This odious terroristic act against
journalists and caricaturists of Charlie Hebdo will not
succeed in its pathologic objective – to intimidate and discourage journalists
in pursuing their honourable profession in spite of all dangers.
Journalists all arround the world, joined
in solidarity, will best remember and honour their distinguished colleagues
from the Charlie Hebdo – by continuing to perform professional
tasks in line with the words by Jean-Jacques Rousseau: I prefer dangerous

FENAJ lamenta mortes e
condena ataque à revista francesa
A Federação Nacional dos
Jornalistas (FENAJ) repudia e condena o ataque à revista francesa Charlie Hebdo
ocorrido na manhã desta quarta-feira, 7 de janeiro, que resultou na morte de 12
pessoas e deixou, pelo menos, outros dez feridos. Entre os mortos estão cinco
jornalistas -- os cartunistas Charlie Hebdo Charb (Stéphane Charbonnier), Cabu
(Jean Cabut), Wolinski (Georges Wolinski), e Tignous (Bernard Verlhac) e o
repórter Bernard Maris --, outros cinco funcionários da revista e dois
policiais que faziam a segurança do editor Stephane Charbonnier, que estava sob
proteção policial.
O editor da Charlie Hebdo
vinha recebendo ameaças de morte e a revista já havia sido vítima de ameaças e
de atentados anteriormente. Suspeita-se que o ataque de hoje, como os
anteriores, tenham sido motivados pelas sátiras ao profeta Maomé.
A FENAJ repudia a
violência contra jornalistas, alertando a sociedade para o perigo da
intolerância (seja política, religiosa ou de qualquer natureza) e do
obscurantismo, que tem gerado ataques às liberdades de expressão e de imprensa
em todo o mundo.
A FENAJ soma-se à Federação
Internacional dos Jornalistas e à Federação Européia dos Jornalistas na
solidariedade aos familiares das vítimas e no firme propósito de que os
criminosos sejam identificados e punidos. A polícia francesa ainda não
identificou os dois homens que entraram na sede da revista, em Paris, e
atiraram contra todos que estavam presentes, fugindo em um carro, conduzido por
um terceiro homem. É preciso rigor nas investigações para que este crime brutal
não fique impune. A impunidade alimenta a violência contra jornalista.

FEPALC CONDENA DEMENCIAL
ATAQUE A REVISTA SATÍRICA
CHARLIE HEBDO
La Federación de
Periodistas de América Latina y el Caribe (FEPALC) está consternada por el
ataque contra la revista satírica Charlie Hebdo que ha terminado con la vida
del director de la publicación, Stéphane Charbonnier, los dibujantes Jean
Cabut, Georges Wolinski, Bernard Verlhac y el periodista Bernard Maris y otras
siete víctimas.
Este acto demencial tuvo
como blanco a un medio que en cabal ejercicio de la libertad de expresión ha
hecho de la sátira, ininterrumpidamente en los últimos 22 años, el mejor medio
para cuestionar la actualidad mundial y local. Para la FEPALC esta barbarie
debe recibir un castigo ejemplar. Por ello saludamos el intenso operativo
desplegado por el gobierno francés para identificar a los autores de los
disparos y a quienes estén involucrados en lo que hoy constituye el mayor
horror vivido en una redacción francesa en el último siglo.
El semanario, por su
sarcasmo e irreverencia, ha sido frecuentemente blanco de la intolerancia, pero
es la primera vez que tiene que lamentar víctimas mortales. El episodio más
reciente se produjo en el 2011 sufrió un ataque con bombas molotov que produjo
un incendio de proporciones. En el 2006 la publicación recibió amenazas de
grupos radicales por reproducir una caricatura de Mahoma publicada
originalmente en el diario danés Jyllands-Posten.
La FEPALC, horrorizada
por el ataque, expresa su solidaridad a las familias de las víctimas, a los
dibujantes, periodistas y al pueblo francés en su conjunto. No podemos permitir
que el miedo coarte la paz. No podemos dejar que el pánico lesione un valor
fundamental de las sociedades democráticas: la libertad de expresión.

IJU expresses outrage over killing of
French cartoonists New Delhi, January 8: The Indian Journalists Union (IJU)
expressed deep shock and outrage over the killing 12 persons in an attack on
office of Charlie Hebdo, a satirical weekly magazine, in Paris on wednesday by
Al Quaida terrorists. In the worst ever attack on the fourth estate, three
cartoonists, Wolinski, Cabu, Bernard Verlhac and Chief Editor of the Magazine,
Stephane Charbonnier lost their lives. The magazine recently published a
cartoon on Islamic State militant group leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
In a statement on Thursday, Indian
Journalists Union (IJU) President S N Sinha, Secretary-General Devulapalli Amar
said that the cartoons and cartoonists were usually irreverent of anybody
standing on high pedestal and were meant to expose their follies and bring out
their human frailties in to sharp focus and tell the people that they are also
human beings. Those who were insensitive to the human nature feel offended by
the cartoons, they said.
By attacking and killing four cartoonists,
the terrorists threw a challenge to the fourth estate which must be met with
“we do not care and we cannot be intimidated” attitude and carry out task of
freedom of expression with renewed vigor, the statement said.
The IJU leaders called on the working
journalists everywhere to come out in open and tell the extremist elements of
all hues that their threats and terror acts would not deter them from their
sacred mission. The Indian Journalists Union (IJU) condoled the death of 12
persons including four cartoonists and pledged that the international working
journalists professional and trade union movement would not allow their supreme
sacrifice to go waste by standing up to the attackers and killers of freedom of
expression.

blood today: courageous journalists who used humour against opponents of
democracy peace and freedom and brave officers overwhelmed by the violence of

condolences to the families and loves ones of all those who died, and our best
wishes for the recovery of those who were wounded in Wednesday’s attack on the
offices of satirical magazine ‘Charlie Hebdo’ and on the wider ideas of liberty

Journalists, by the nature of the work that

Dear colleagues,
The Union of Bulgarian journalists has just
issued a declaration in connection with today’s barbaric attack on the French
satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo which says:
All Bulgarian journalists are appalled by the
barbaric terrorist attack in Paris which cost the lives of ten talented
colleagues and two policemen. This cold-blooded killing is a violent frontal
attack on free expression and media freedom and against the fundamental
principles of democracy, against the basic and universal values first among
which is human life. This despicable crime aims to intimidate not only
journalists but also the whole international democratic community and to force
them to give up their active defense of their humanistic and democratic values
and ideals and to capitulate to the fear of medieval barbarity and religious
fanaticism.
This tragedy reminds us the bitter truth
that there are still powerful forces in our world for whom these principles and
values have no meaning whatsoever and that global terrorism remains a horrible
threat. We can counter it only by uniting all forces and resources of the
international community. It is repugnant that criminals like those in Paris try
to hide their evil deeds by false religious slogans. The Union of Bulgarian
Journalists stands by its position that true Muslims have nothing in common
with the brutal Charlie Hebdo killers and that the misdeeds of the Islamic
militants distorts the peaceful and human nature of the religion on whose behalf
they pretend to be acting.
The despicable killings in Paris again
confirm that the journalistic profession is among the most dangerous in the
world and that journalists need special protection because they attract upon
themselves the malice of all those enemies of the democratic achievements of
the human civilization.
The Union of Bulgarian Journalists is
sending profound condolences to the families and friends of our brutally killed
French colleagues and assures all French journalists of its full solidarity
with them in this tragic moment. We are confident that proud French journalism
will overcome this terrible loss and shock and will uphold the principles and
values of free democratic journalism which they have championed throughout the
glorious French history.
All Bulgarian journalist hope that the
brutal killers of our colleagues from Charlie Hebdo and of their editor-in
chief Stephane Charbonnier will be captured as soon as possible in order to
stand trial and experience the full force of the law.

croates)
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the members of the from
Zagreb, Croatia, we express our deepest sympathy to the families, friends and
colleagues of the killed Charlie Hebdo journalists, innocent victims of the
barbaric act of terrorist violence.
France has always been a lighthouse of
freedom and we believe it will continue to hold the torch of media freedom
brightly lit and high – in spite of all threats.
This odious terroristic act against
journalists and caricaturists of Charlie Hebdo will not succeed in its
pathologic objective – to intimidate and discourage journalists in pursuing
their honourable profession in spite of all dangers.
Journalists all arround the world, joined
in solidarity, will best remember and honour their distinguished colleagues
from the Charlie Hebdo – by continuing to perform professional tasks in line
with the words by Jean-Jacques Rousseau: I prefer dangerous freedom over
peaceful and safe slavery.
Yours in solidarity,
Anton Filic, TUCJ President

the horrible attack on the editorial offices of Charlie Hebdo in Paris
yesterday and expresses sincere solidarity with the colleagues who were killed.
In honor of the victims of this brutal act of violence it should be stressed
that freedom of expression cannot be killed with a bullet. This will not
intimidate or silence journalists and a free press – today we are all Charlie!
We extend our deepest condolences to the families and friends of the victims.
