Charlie Hebdo defies terror with special issue for attack anniversary

The attack in January 2015 on the offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo that left 12 people dead and 11 injured prompted a huge outpouring of support for the publication. AFP/Archivos

France is preparing to mark 10 years since terror attacks targeting satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish supermarket left 17 people dead in Paris. The three days of violence, triggered by the magazine's publication of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, sparked worldwide debate about freedom of expression and religious sensitivities.

Commemorations will include a special edition of Charlie Hebdo, ceremonies led by President Emmanuel Macron and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, and tributes across France honouring the victims.
