*******************************************
I strongly condemn the recent coward attacks to Paris and other cities by extremist fanatics and continue to mourn the loss of my cartoonists colleagues in Paris in terrorist attacks in January of 2015. I was invited to diverse international media outlets to share my thoughts about freedom of expression and about Georges Wolinski, one of the slain cartoonists, whom I had the honor to meet a few years ago. I'd like to share with you links to some interviews:
CNN, Variety Magazine, Euronews TV,
Russia Today TV, NY1, NBC, Daily News, Yahoo News
CNN International, Manhattan Times
I believe that even if we did not agree with Charlie Hebdo's kind of humor, a coward assassination like the one perpetrated is not the answer and never will. Rest in peace my fellow colleagues.
