France Marks 10 Years Since Charlie Hebdo Attacks

The anniversary highlights the enduring impact of the 2015 terrorist attacks on freedom of expression, victims’ lives, and French society.

• The 2015 attacks on Charlie Hebdo, Montrouge, and Hyper Cacher left 17 dead, targeting freedom of expression and the Jewish community in France.
• Victims and survivors continue to face physical, emotional, and psychological scars, with many still living under police protection or grappling with trauma a decade later.
• The slogan 'Je suis Charlie,' a rallying cry for free speech and solidarity, has since faded, with some critics lamenting a decline in public discourse and rising self-censorship.
• Charlie Hebdo remains operational, producing satirical content under heavy security, while reflecting on its role as a symbol of free expression and its controversial legacy.
• The anniversary has prompted renewed debates on secularism, religious tolerance, and the unresolved challenges of addressing Islamist extremism in France and beyond.
