The European AIDS Clinical Society wishes to express dismay at the recent violent attack on Charlie Hebdo in Paris, and to extend our deepest sympathy to the victims’ families, friends, and colleagues.

We denounce the abhorrent act of violence and take a firm stand in favour of freedom of speech and the protection of human liberties, paying homage to all of those who fight and perish believing in the freedom of press and freedom in our society.
