Survivors of last week’s terrorist attack on the Charlie Hebdo satirical newspaper in Paris will publish the newspaper’s latest issue Wednesday featuring a cover cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed holding a sign that says “Je suis Charlie.”
Since the attack, the slogan has spread on social media as a rally cry in support for freedom of speech.
The new cover includes a caption that reads “Tout est pardonne,” which translates into English as “all is forgiven.”
According to BBC, remaining Charlie Hebdo staff say that 3 million copies of the next issue are planned for publication.
“We will not give in. The spirit of ‘I am Charlie’ means the right to blaspheme,” Richard Malka, an attorney for the newspaper, told France Info radio.
Chérif and Said Kouachi, the two gunmen who attacked the Charlie Hebdo newspaper last week, murdering 12, were later shot dead by security forces.
Amedy Coulibaly, an associate of the two brothers who had taken over a kosher supermarket in eastern Paris, killing four people, was also killed.
