Costa Rica’s President Solís signs condolence book for Charlie Hebdo victims

Costa Rican President Luis Guillermo Solís (pictured) and Foreign Minister Manuel González sign a condolence book at the French Embassy in San José Tuesday in memory of the 17 victims of a three-day killing spree that started at the offices of the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine in Paris. “Freedom of expression is an inalienable human right. Nothing justifies that it be limited, much less sow terror to avoid it,” Solís tweeted afterwards.
