TAYO Fatunla: Charlie Hebdo Magazine Massacre in Paris – Humour Terrorised – French Cartoonists Killed

When Humour is murdered

I had the privilege of meeting the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists who today were callously killed by terrorists together with other journalists at the premises of Charlie Hebdo , a satirical magazine in Paris.

The publication has lampooned many and spared no one in its way. I would meet the cartoonists at many Cartoon Festivals in France over the years. There was always a rush to meet them by the young and old as they were very well known in France. Their cartoon books sold bucket loads.The icing on the cake was to get a cartoon or caricature drawn, in individual’s autograph book by these cartoonists. The terrorists have murdered humour but freedom of expression will not be silenced.
