(AFP) The current director of France’s Charlie Hebdo satirical weekly, the target of a massacre by Islamist gunmen in January 2015, on Wednesday said the magazine had “nothing to regret” for publishing cartoons of the prophet Mohammed that angered Muslims around the world.
Fourteen suspected accomplices are standing trial in Paris over the January 7-9, 2015, massacres at Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish supermarket that left a total of 17 dead and shocked the country.
Seen as a champion of press freedom by supporters, critics accused Charlie Hebdo of crossing a line when it published the Mohammed caricatures in 2006, provoking the ire of Muslims worldwide.
