\u201cThe \u2018massacre\u2019 which took place today at the premises of the French magazine Charlie Hebdo<\/em> in Paris is a barbaric act of violence against journalists and media freedom,\u201d says the European Federation of Journalists (EFJ).<\/p>\n

According to the latest media reports, twelve people were killed in the shooting. Among them, nine are journalists and two are policemen, according to media reports. Media reported that at least two armed, hooded gunmen have taken part in the shooting at the office of Charlie Hebdo <\/em>at 11.30am today.<\/p>\n

The EFJ has expressed its deepest condolences to the families and friends of the victims. The EFJ President, Mogens Blicher Bjerregaard, will travel to Paris later today or tomorrow to honour the victims and get in touch with the journalists‘ unions in France for support actions to the families of the victims.<\/p>\n

The EFJ has condemned this barbaric act of violence against journalists and media freedom. It has called on the French authorities to make every effort to punish this horrific crime.<\/p>\n

„This is not only an attack on journalists but also an attack on the freedom of the media. Journalists today are facing greater dangers and threats,\u201d s<\/em>ays Blicher Bjerregaard.<\/p>\n

In 2014, 118 journalists and media workers died for doing their jobs. In Europe, 9 journalists were killed and they were taken place mostly in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

In view of this horrific attack, the EFJ reiterates its call on national governments, the European Union and intergovernmental organisations (including the Council of Europe and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe – OSCE) to intensify their efforts in ensuring the protection of journalists in Europe.<\/p>\n
