Association of Balkan News Agencies
Condemns Attack against French Newspaper
Charlie Hebdo"


Sofia, January 8 (BTA) - The Association of Balkan News Agencies
- Southeast Europe (ABNA-SE) condemns the cold-blooded attack
against the freedom of expression and against innocent civilians
that took place recently in Paris, reads a Thursday ABNA-SE
press release.

"We are facing a barbarous act that outraged mankind and it is
our right as human beings to enjoy freedom of speech and belief
and freedom from fear, as the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights stated 67 years ago. It is our right to defend ourselves
with our ideas," the Association says.

"All those people paid with their lives for expressing their
views and for putting into practice the most beautiful act of
this job: the right to express and spread their ideas.

Therefore, we all must stand together against these violent
attacks that try to divide us and to put us to silence. Because
in a way we are all #CharlieHebdo," the press release reads.
