According to Reuters, French President Emmanuel Macron said: “We have the right to freedom of expression. No president of the republic has the right to decide on the editorial choice of a journalist or a newsroom.”
Macron, speaking on the sidelines of a visit to Lebanon, said it was up to French citizens to show respect and dignity to each other and to refrain from “hate speech”.
It should be noted that the French magazine Charlie Hebdo has once again announced the shameful publication of blasphemous sketches about the Prophet Muhammad. An attempt has been made to hurt the feelings of millions of Muslims by republishing blasphemous sketches before the trial of the accused involved in the attack on the magazine’s office began. The move was strongly condemned by Muslim countries around the world, including Pakistan.
According to the report, after the move to publish blasphemous sketches in 2015, preparations are being made to start the trial of the accused involved in the attack on the magazine’s office. In such a situation, the French magazine Charlie Hebdo has announced Will be republished.
