Charlie Hebdo

Charlie Hebdo is a French satirical magazine known for its provocative humor and political commentary, often targeting religion, politics, and current events. Founded in 1970, it gained international notoriety following the 2015 terrorist attack on its office, which resulted in the deaths of 12 people, including cartoonists and editors. The attack was motivated by the magazine’s controversial depictions of the Prophet Muhammad. This incident sparked global debates about free speech, the limits of satire, and the conflict between humor and religious sensitivity, highlighting tensions surrounding freedom of expression in contemporary society.
