Cape Town Press Club reacts to French terror attack


The Cape Town Press Club says the best way to honour those killed in the attack on French magazine Charlie Hebdo's Paris office, is to campaign for freedom of expression around the world.

It says the brazen attack has very correctly been condemned far and wide.

The club says in a statement by the latest count, 12 people lost their lives for expressing or defending the freedom that so many journalists across the world take for granted.

The Associated Press reports that French police are hunting for two heavily armed men, one with possible links to Al-Qaeda, for the methodical killings at the satirical newspaper which had published caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed.
