Parisians hold candlelight vigil
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA crowd of up to 250 people gather for an impromptu candlelight vigil at the Place de La Republique in Paris, the site of a massive demonstration in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo killings earlier this year.
Adrien Chambel, a 27-year-old law student, says the crowd is much sparser than it was in January. He says “you feel that people are petrified.”
His father, Bernard, 66, said there is a difference between the attacks Friday night that killed 129 people and the January assault on the Charlie Hebdo newspaper and a Kosher supermarket that killed 17 victims.
He says in January “it was an attack on Jews, it was an attack on free expression.”
This, he says, “was an attack on a way of life — they shot without discrimination.”
