Non, tu n'est pas Charlie-you are not Charlie.

An inside perspective from Charlie on je suis Charlie:

“What on earth are Cameron, Netinyahu, Juncker and others doing there, saying, ‘Je suis Charlie’?” fumed Cabanes, who created a drawing on his theme specially for the Observer, of the VIP front row on Sunday’s march arranged as a billiard triangle, waiting to be assigned to their various pockets by the cue – a pencil. “Charlie is not a ‘global brand’,” protested Florence. “Charlie is a collection of different artists with different, very special talents.” “They’re not Charlie, and they don’t want to be Charlie,” added Willem.

Zineb el-Rhazoui, a Franco-Moroccan feminist working at the paper had marched and found it “surreal, because usually we’re alone, despised – and now we’re part of this huge expression by the people. On the other hand, it was very surprising to find who our new friends are!” Laurent Léger, reporter with Charlie Hebdo, did not march. “It had all become too political,” he explained. “I didn’t want to be next to those politicians, or shake their hands.”

Prescient when you see the way the French government, and other governments are representing Charlie.

Some of the recently reported cases in France may cross the high threshold of expression that can legitimately be prosecuted. Others, however offensive the statements made, do not.

“Freedom of expression does not have favourites. Now is not the time for knee-jerk prosecutions, but measured responses that protect lives and respect the rights of all,” said John Dalhuisen.

Freedom of expression means nothing if it is given to some, and denied to others.

In the northern city of Lille, authorities suspended three school workers for allegedly refusing to observe a moment of silence in honor of the victims of the attacks, and then justifying their action. One is being charged with “defending terrorism.” The accused denies that he refused to respect the minute of silence, but said he did “debate it with colleagues outside work hours.”

In Paris, one man who was drunk and another who suffers psychiatric problems were jailed for fourteen and three months respectively for “defending terrorism” for comments they made. A third was jailed for fifteen months and the court ordered that their sentences begin immediately.

Notorious French comedian Dieudonné M’bala M’bala has been arrested for being an “apologist for terrorism” after suggesting on Facebook that he sympathised with one of the Paris gunmen, a judicial source has said.

In almost every case where a name is provided, those arrested would appear to be of North African ancestry – suggesting that France’s crackdown is quite targeted.
