We Will Not Be Silenced

By: 01/08/2015

The International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) is outraged and saddened by the gruesome attacks on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. Twelve people were murdered and others injured in the magazine's offices in Paris by masked terrorists.

ICFJ mourns for its fallen colleagues.
