The attack on Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine on 7 January 2015 triggered a wave of violence against Muslims across France and called into question the country's approach to freedom of expression.

The 2015 attack by the Paris-born Kouachi brothers, of Algerian descent, was said to be revenge for Charlie Hebdo's decision to publish caricatures lampooning the Prophet Mohammed, Islam's most revered figure.
