Terrorist attacks in Copenhagen
I condemn
attacks that killed a security guard at a synagogue and a participant in a
freedom of speech event in Copenhagen on Saturday.
I am shocked by the terrorist
attacks in Copenhagen on the weekend. While such attacks affect us all, they
have a particularly strong impact on the daily lives of Jewish people; now is
the time to stand together against these crimes based on hatred, including
those based on anti-Semitism. Government must take all appropriate efforts to meet the
security needs of Jewish communities.
Such attacks are a strong
reminder of the need to promote and protect human rights and fundamental
freedoms – including the freedom of speech – and for effective responses to all
bias, discrimination and violence targeting different communities.
Saturday’s shooting followed
the killing, on 7 January 2015, of 12 people in an attack on the Charlie Hebdo
Magazine, of a police officer on the next day, and then of four people during
an attack on a kosher supermarket near Paris on 9 January 2015. The attacks
ealier this year followed the attack on four people at the Jewish Museum in
Brussels in May 2014, and the killing of four people in March 2012 in an attack
on a Jewish school in Toulouse, France.
