World leaders flock to Paris to defend freedom of expression. Oh, wait…, no Keep Talking Greece:
A long list of world leaders have flocked to Paris on Sunday to join the crowds paying tribute to the victims of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, the French policemen, the shoppers in a kosher supermarket. Atheists, Jews, Muslims: all dead by the bullets of fanatic jihadists claiming to have committed despicable acts in the name of religion.
From what I read and hear, the honorable world leaders have flocked to Paris to express solidarity with the French people and send a “message for the freedom of expression”.
How much do they honor “freedom of expression” in their own countries? How much “Charlie” are they?
Co-president of LSEMidEastSoc and blogger @DanielWickham took under the magnifying glass all the leaders who attend the #JeSuisCharlie rally and #MarcheRepublicaine today and created an outstanding list of 19 of them who harass, target and imprison journalists for what they write.
