Vowing that the terrorists who gunned down six of their co-workers and four others ”didn’t win,” surviving staffers of satirical French newspaper Charlie Hebdo said they’ll publish next week despite the murders of their editor and star cartoonists.
One million copies of Charlie Hedbo will be printed on Wednesday, the publication’s lawyer Richard Malka told Le Monde newspaper.
The paper’s normal weekly circulation is about 45,000.
“The paper will continue because they didn’t win,” columnist Patrick Pelloux told iTele France on Thursday, a day after Islamic extremists shot up the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo. “The magazine will continue.”
Pelloux said the victims, who included publisher Stéphane Charbonnier and cartoonists Georges Wolinski and Jean Cabut, “didn’t die for nothing.”
“They were extraordinary men and women,” said a tearful Pelloux, who is an emergency room doctor by trade.
“They were killed during a meeting discussing a conference on the fight against racism.”
A dozen innocent souls were slaughtered in the attack, including eight journalists, two police officers, a maintenance worker and a visitor.
Patrick Pelloux, a columnist of French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, said the gunmen “didn’t win” and that “the magazine will continue.”Getty ImagesRival satirical publication Siné Mensuel has offered to provide articles and cartoons for Charlie Hedbo’s next publication.
“Our cartoonists, editors, journalists raised their hands (to lend help) without hesitation,” Siné Mensuel said.
A joint letter from Le Monde and French public TV and radio also pledged to give equipment and staff to help Charlie Hedbo publish, declaring that all French journalists want to “preserve the principles of editorial independence and freedom of thought — principles that are fundamental to our democracy.”
