Paris: Greens condemn 'unconscionable outrages' but warn against knee-jerk response

Responding to the Paris attacks, Natalie Bennett, Green Party Leader, and Deputy Leaders Shahrar Ali and Amelia Womack said:

Our thoughts go out to everyone in Paris who has been affected by these shocking and appalling attacks. We send our support and solidarity to the people of France at this very difficult time. We condemn these unconscionable outrages upon a civilian population but we must not react with knee-jerk responses that would undermine the liberties we seek to protect. Today as every day we must stand together to face down hatred and work together to create a peaceful, compassionate, and caring world.
