Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy

A Greek prosecutor charged 10 people on Wednesday over a series of recent bomb and hand grenade attacks, including a planned parcel bomb explosion at a court in the northern city of Thessaloniki this month, judicial sources said.

It has been six years since the Islamist attack on the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo. Twelve people lost their lives and millions mourned. "Je suis Charlie" became an expression of solidarity, and Charlie Hebdo a symbol of freedom of speech and press freedom. How did the events of January 2015 change Charlie Hebdo?

The attack at Charlie Hebdo’s Paris office was the first in a series of attacks over three days in January 2015

Since then, however, the fight to defend journalistic freedom has flagged, and public mobilisation has proved to be fleeting — including in the case of Charlie Hebdo.

In January 2019, the magazine's staff complained in an editorial that people no longer wanted to hear about the shootings. "Perhaps you should move on!" they were reportedly told.

So, the system works and there is no need to add any other legal tool.

On the other hand, we have a load of problems when it comes to both male and female journalists: they are attacked and threatened on the web on a daily basis.

Controversial anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders late Thursday said he was cancelling plans to stage a Prophet Mohammad cartoon competition, a scheme that had angered many Muslims particularly in Pakistan.

The satirical magazine 'Charlie Hebdo' "does not embody in any way the sentiment of the French public opinion", the freedom of speech and freedom of the press being fundamental principles of the French Republic, French Ambassador in Bucharest Michele Ramis told AGERPRES.

A cartoon published on Thursday by the famous French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo has angered Romanian fans of the winner of the Roland Garros Tennis tournament, Simona Halep.

The magazine published a drawing of Halep holding the trophy and a caption reading: "A Romanian wins Roland Garros: Scrap iron! Scrap iron!"

The London-based NGO Index on Censorship has shortlisted the Croatian independent weekly Novosti as one of only four finalists for its prestigious 2018 Freedom of Expression Award.

The French Interior Minister says no part of France is free from risk after revealing that 20 planned terrorist attacks had been thwarted in the last 12 months.

Twenty attacks were foiled in France last year and no part of the country is free from risk, Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said in an interview Monday.
