"Je Suis Charlie" is a slogan that emerged in response to the terrorist attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in January 2015. The attack resulted in the deaths of 12 people, including cartoonists and journalists, who were targeted for their controversial depictions of Islam and other subjects. The phrase translates to "I am Charlie," symbolizing solidarity with the victims and a commitment to freedom of expression. The movement quickly gained global traction, with millions of people participating in demonstrations and sharing the slogan on social media. It sparked discussions about the balance between free speech and respect for religious beliefs, highlighting the ongoing tensions surrounding cartooning and satire in contemporary society.
