Hollande pays tribute at site of Charlie Hebdo siege
- 8 years ago
French President Francois Hollande has unveiled a plaque at a printing company north of Paris where the Charlie Hebdo attackers went into hiding before they were killed during a police siege.
The factory is re-opening for the first time since it was damaged during the standoff between police and the gunmen in January, 2015.

What happened at Charlie Hebdo?
Charlie Hebdo, a satirical publication known for its covers ridiculing political and religious leaders, lost many of its top editorial staff when two Islamist militants broke into an editorial meeting on January 7, 2015 and opened fire.
The attacks prompted a worldwide solidarity movement.
The “Je Suis Charlie” (I am Charlie) slogan went viral on social media.
