Some might balk at the honour roll / list of politicians and leaders represented at the Charlie Hebdo solidarity rally on Sunday, January 11, 2015. Why? Because several of the leaders in attendance do not exactly have a spotless record as regards Freedom of expression in their home countries. But … hey, nobody’s perfect!
Seriously, I hope that all of these leaders will be reminded of their new commitment to freedom of expression by the watchdogs in their own countries.
We can only hope.
