The attacks on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo have continued since the publication of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.

On January 7, 2015, a terrorist attack took place at the editorial office of Charlie Hebdo in Paris. As a result of the attack by armed militants, 12 people were killed, 11 were wounded. The main suspects in the terrorist act, the brothers Said and Sheriff Kouachi, were killed on January 9 by French security forces during a special operation.

Recently, the trial of the terrorists' accomplices began, on the eve of which the magazine repeated the publication of cartoons of the prophet, which provoked a new wave of threats. More than 100 French media outlets supported Charlie Hebdo's employees. They published an open letter in solidarity with the editors, defending freedom of speech.
