Charlie Hebdo publishes new issue, one week after attack Wednesday Jan 14,2015

Late Monday Jan 13,2015, the website of the newspaper Liberation, which has been hosting the Charlie Hebdo staff, posted an image of the next cover of the satirical weekly. It featured a cartoon of Muhammad, with a tear streaming down his cheek, and holding a sign: ”Je Suis Charlie” – ”I Am Charlie.”
Overhead was the phrase: ”All is forgiven.”

 

The new edition of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo Wednesday Jan 14,2015  has gone on sale, with a cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad on its cover.

The cartoon shows the Prophet weeping while holding a sign saying "Je suis Charlie" ("I am Charlie").

The front cover of the edition had been widely published in advance by French media.
Outside France, the Washington Post, Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine, Corriere della Sera in Italy and the UK's Guardian are among publications to show the cartoon
Three million copies are being printed - a week after Islamist gunmen murdered eight journalists at the magazine and four other people in Paris
Jan 14,2015 Wednesday's edition of Charlie Hebdo has an unprecedented print run of three million copies. Normally only 60,000 are sold each week

The issue will be available in six languages - including English, Arabic and Turkish - some in print and some online.

An editorial thanks the millions of people who have declared themselves as Charlie in the past few days - but it says it wants no more of the past insinuations that by provoking Muslims, it has somehow brought trouble on itself.

Editor-in-chief Gerard Biard told  "We are happy to have done it and happy to have been able to do it, to have achieved it. It was tough. The front page... was complicated to put together, because it had to express something new, it had to say something relating to the event that we had to deal with."

The magazine, which normally sells around 30,000 copies a week, had an initial unprecedented print run of three million. This has been increased to five million after copies were snapped up today.

Issues of the magazine had sold out across Paris news kiosks this morning within minutes.
