Prime Minister Sobotka Condoles with his French Counterpart Valls

The Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, Bohuslav Sobotka, has sent a letter of condolences to his French counterpart Manuel Valls, condemning the terrorist attack on the editorial office of the Charlie Hebdo weekly magazine.

Your Excellency, Dear Prime Minister,

I was profoundly shocked by the terrorist attack against the editorial office of the Charlie Hebdo weekly in Paris.

I denounce this act of terrorism that has claimed numerous human lives, including the lives of several police officers. This barbaric act is an unjustifiable attack against the media and against the freedom of the press.

Your Excellency, please accept my deepest sympathy to your government and to the people of the French Republic and kindly pass my condolences on to the victims' families.

Yours most sincerely,
Bohuslav Sobotka
Prime Minister of the Czech Republic
