Statement on today's attack on Charlie Hebdo

07/01/2015

Hacked Off

We are shocked by the events in Paris today. An open, democratic society respects liberty and free speech, and a free press is an essential part of that society. The attack is not just on the magazine or on France, but on everyone who believes in a free, open, democratic society.

Our thoughts and condolences are with the friends and family of those killed and injured, including police officers and the staff of Charlie Hebdo.

Hacked Off is funded by supporters, not newspaper owners. Help us take this to Parliament: give £10 a month.
