Je suis Charlie

Last week, about 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, 7th January 2015,  gunmen dressed in black and wearing bulletproof vests forced their way into a building
two doors down from Charlie Hebdo, asking where to find the magazine.

They then headed to the correct building, where they killed an officer on security detail, officials said. They later encountered a Charlie Hebdo cartoonist who was on her way out of the building and demanded she lead them to the offices. Once there, she was told to enter a security code to open its fortified door, according to the newspaper.

The gunmen barged in during a lunchtime editorial meeting, separating men and women and calling out the names of employees they intended to kill, said Dr. Gerald Kierzek, a physician who treated wounded patients and spoke with survivors.

Then they left the building and shot dead two policemen on the way, before leaving the scene with a car. Altogether 12 people were killed.

That the most dastardly attack on freedom of press anywhere in the world. And it shows the retrograde mentality of the attackers and their sympathizers. 

Needless to say, the magazine will rebound strongly and freedom of expression will get a bigger boost. 

Condemnation from all over the world followed. Three days after the incident, the three terrorists were killed in two separate incidents.

Social media responded to the terrorist attack with "Je suis Charlie," or "I am Charlie." The show of solidarity with Paris and the satirical newspaper went viral in a multitude of languages.
Very soon celebrities were also wearing the badge "Je suis Charlie" everywhere.

for the past few days the slogan "Je Suis charlie" has become the catchword for all.
