Around the world, people turn out to remember and pay tribute to the staff of Charlie Hebdo
Persons hold placards which read "I am Charlie" to pay tribute during a gathering in Strasbourg January 7, 2015, following a shooting by gunmen at the offices of weekly satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris. Gunmen stormed the Paris offices of the weekly satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, renowned for lampooning radical Islam, killing at least 12 people, including two police officers in the worst militant attack on French soil in recent decades.
Many people around France, Europe and even across the world viewed the terrorist attack on Charlie Hebdo's offices as an attack on free expression.
With pens, placards and candles, they came to dozens of remembrances, honoring the lives lost in the attack and the work done for years by the satirical magazine. French newspaper Le Monde has put together a map of the dozens of memorials planned around the world.
