Support freedom

I had planned an article and wanted to publish it yesterday but the last events in France made me change my mind.

I don't read Charlie Hebdo for different reasons, I don't see it on display in the shop where I buy my magazines and I don't always agree with the way it is written BUT I can't accept people to be killed because of what they write or draw. There are other ways to show you disagree.

Freedom for the press is important. If it didn't exist, maybe this blog wouldn't exist either. Freedom to write, to publish, to broadcast, to let people know what happens in the world.

The answer to these murders today in France is unity. Unity to defend journalists, to support policemen, to make a difference between Muslims and terrorists using a religion to kill people.

The motto of France is Liberté, égalité, fraternité (Liberty, equality, fraternity). Yesterday liberty was hurt and all French people seem to react and defend this main value of our country.

Don't let terrorists take this liberty and our lives.

Si la presse disparaît, les autres libertés disparaîtront aussi. Même si certains journalistes m'agacent, je suis convaincue que, sans la presse, nous perdrions beaucoup.
