Description
Paris covers some of his public buildings (in this case, the city hall - hotel de ville) with signs against the terrorist attack suffered by the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in 2015.
The magazine has been the target of two terrorist attacks, in 2011 and in 2015, presumed to be in response to a number of controversial Muhammad cartoons it published. In the second of these attacks, 12 people were killed, including Charbonnier and several contributors.
Charlie Hebdo first appeared in 1970 as a companion to the monthly Hara-Kiri magazine, after a previous title was banned for mocking the death of former French President Charles de Gaulle.
