Twelve people died in the attack more than five years ago.

The satirical magazine announced Tuesday afternoon that they will republish the Muhammad cartoon when the terror trial begins on Wednesday.

– We will never sleep. We will never give up, says director Laurent Sourisseau in Charlie Hebdo, writes AFP.

It is said that it was cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad that triggered the attack on the editorial office on January 7, 2015.

In leadership, Charlie Hebdo writes that many have asked for the cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. The magazine must have been waiting for a suitable opportunity, writes AFP.

– We have not done it, not because it is prohibited, it is allowed by law. “We were waiting for the right opportunity, we were waiting for a moment when printing contributes to a debate on the subject,” he says in a leadership position.

Charlie Hebdo writes that the start of the trial on Wednesday will be the right time.

Three of the defendants will not be in court on Wednesday.

They are probably in Syria, in areas that are still controlled by ISIS, writes Reuters.

Some reports have indicated that they are dead, but this has not been confirmed and there are still arrest warrants against them, writes AFP.

You can receive a life sentence

The defendant may face life in prison, writes Reuters.

They are accused of planning terrorism, supplying arms and ammunition, financing the attack and being active members of a terrorist organization.

The attacks more than five years ago were the first in a wave of Islamist violence that has killed 258 people in France, according to the AFP news agency.

The terror shocked France and the rest of the world.

In France, many questioned the ability of the authorities to protect citizens and preserve a peaceful and multicultural society.

France’s most famous cartoonists murdered

Twelve people were killed when brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi broke into Charlie Hebdo’s editorial office with automatic weapons on the morning of January 7, 2015.

Among those killed was the magazine’s editor, Stéphane “Charb” Charbonnier, 47.

Some of France’s most famous cartoonists were killed in the attack, NTB writes.

Eleven others were injured in the attack.

The satire magazine was loved and hated for its uncompromising line that nothing is taboo. It included the printing of highly controversial drawings of the Prophet Muhammad.

Shooting two perpetrators

Two days after the attack on the newsroom, the police shot and killed the two perpetrators.

Then they had fled and barricaded themselves in a printing press on the outskirts of the French capital.

Meanwhile, a close acquaintance of the brothers killed a female police officer when he was detained at a routine check.

On January 9, he took several hostages in a Jewish supermarket in Paris and demanded that the brothers who attacked Charlie Hebdo not be harmed. He killed four of the hostages.

Islamic State

The author himself was killed when the police broke into the store.

In a video, he swore allegiance to the extremist group Islamic State. He claimed IS was behind the attack on Charlie Hebdo.

All three who attacked Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish store in Paris in 2015 have died.

Before the perpetrators were shot and killed by police in two different actions on January 9, almost six years ago, they received help from several other people.

The prosecution believes that the three perpetrators received assistance at all stages of planning, including assistance in obtaining weapons.

– Judgment is important

Several of those who survived the attacks in Paris will explain in court what happened more than five years ago.

– They are waiting for maximum justice to be served and to find out who did what, knowing that those who had the finger on the trigger are no longer among us, say lawyers Marie-Laure Barre and Nathalie Senyk.

They represent the victims of Charlie Hebdo. Among those killed was the magazine’s editor, Stéphane “Charb” Charbonnier, 47.

The murders in the Jewish supermarket will also be central to the trial.

– The trial is important, despite the fact that the main person responsible for the murders is dead, says Patrick Klugman, lawyer for the assistance of victims of the attack on the Jewish supermarket.

– Without those sitting on the bench, the murderer would not have been able to act, says the assistant lawyer.

The trial, which begins on September 2, will end on November 10.
