Paris: France’s satirical magazine ‘Charlie Hebdo’ has once again published a cartoon of Prophet Muhammad after the 2015 terrorist attack. The magazine said that “History can neither be rewritten nor erased.”
In January 2015, a terrorist attack on the office of ‘Charlie Hebdo’ killed 17 people, including 12 members of the editorial office and all three attackers. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack. The magazine made the announcement on Tuesday on the eve of the first hearing in that attack case. A hearing is scheduled to begin on Wednesday against 13 men and a woman accused of providing arms and logistics to the attackers.
In an editorial published with Cartoon this week, the magazine said that it had decided not to publish Mohammed’s cartoons after the attacks, but did so when necessary as the case began hearing.
