Hundreds of people gathered at the Danish Embassy in Paris to express solidarity with Denmark over the weekend attacks on a free speech event and a synagogue. The Danish ambassador to France, Anne Dorte Riggelsen, said the feelings are similar to those that followed last month’s attacks on Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris.

Anne Dorte Riggelsen: “It’s really moving, because what I feel is that everyone feels Danish, like we all felt French, Charlie, cop, Jew. And this solidarity, that’s almost physical and corporeal, is very, very important for my country, for my people, because today we are in mourning.”

Danish authorities have arrested two people accused of assisting the Copenhagen gunman, Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein, who was shot dead by police.
