Charlie Hebdo to run special edition commemorating first anniversary of attack

Charlie Hebdo will publish a special edition to mark the first anniversary of the 6 January terrorist attack which claimed the lives of 12 people in its offices.

The satirical magazine will print approximately one million copies to be sold globally in honour of its deceased colleagues.

The edition will be 32 pages long and will feature cartoons by staff who died in the attack, as well as designs by current cartoonists, it has been reported.

Five people were also killed in a kosher supermarket in Paris during the Jihadist attacks last year.

A number of other commemorative measures have been announced for the first anniversary of the tragedy.

Commemorative plaques will be unveiled on Tuesday in a special ceremony as family members and government officials gather to pay tribute to the deceased.

On 10 January, a tree of remembrance is due to be planted by the Paris Mayor’s office.

Last Friday, The Legion of Honor, France’s highest decoration was awarded posthumously to the victims.
