Charlie Hebdo

Thousands of people are expected to gather in Moscow on Sunday afternoon to honour the memory of assassinated Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov.

A poll of British Muslims published on Wednesday found that 27 percent had some sympathy for the motives behind last month's Islamist attack in Paris against the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
     
Sixty-two percent said they had no sympathy.
      

Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis stated in an interview for the French magazine Charlie Hebdo that Europe can only benefit from the policies implemented by progressive governments like the one of SYRIZA.

Racists and nationalists will be the only ones to benefit if European leaders "shoot down" Greece's new anti-austerity government, Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis has told France's Charlie Hebdo newspaper.

More than a month after jihadist gunmen massacred much of the Charlie Hebdo editorial team, those who survived are slowly trying to return to a semblance of normality.
      
Twelve people were killed in the January 7 attack on the satirical weekly, including five of France's most beloved cartoonists.
      

France's chief internal security official is traveling to California's Silicon Valley to discuss his government's concerns about violent jihadist social media messaging with leading tech and Internet companies.
   

French investigators believe they have established that the jihadists who struck Paris last month were in direct contact before the attacks, a security source said on Feb. 18.        

Phone records appear to show that Cherif Kouachi and Amedy Coulibaly met the night before they started three days of violence in and around Paris on January 7.        

A gunman killed at least one person and wounded three police officers after opening fire Feb. 14 on a cultural center in Copenhagen as it was hosting a debate on Islam and free speech.

My phone rang last week late in an afternoon. A very polite female reporter, with an accented Turkish which revealed she has been living abroad for many years, asked for a television interview. The theme was ?To listen to a Muslim female humorist how it is to make humor in a Muslim country.? I don?t think I need to say that this was part of the file prepared upon the attack on Charlie Hebdo.

Cumhuriyet said in a statement on Feb. 9 that Can Dündar has now become its new editor-in-chief, with Tahir Özyurtseven as his deputy. 

On Jan. 15, Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu strongly criticized Cumhuriyet for reprinting a Charlie Hebdo cartoon featuring the Prophet Muhammad, saying freedom of expression ?does not grant anybody the right to insult another?s beliefs.?
