UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon strongly condemned the shooting attacks in Copenhagen, Denmark, at a freedom of expression event and near a synagogue on Saturday and Sunday respectively.
Ban said, in a statement released by his press office, his thoughts are with the victims and their families, reaffirming that the UN stands in solidarity with the people and authorities of Denmark.
The UN official also reaffirmed that there is "no justification for attacks against civilians," and reiterated the need to stand strong for freedom of expression and tolerance.
