Je suis Charlie

Trying to silence the press by violent means has been done before in many different countries, but always has the opposite effect.

Don’t these cowards know that the pen is mightier than the sword?

As a writer I stand in the defense of fundamental freedoms we all value so much. These heinous murders in France are also an odious attack on democracy everywhere.
