Next Charlie Hebdo 'will come out'

Defiant survivors of the attack on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo have said that they will publish an issue next week.

Caroline Fourest, a former journalist at the paper, said there is “no way” the next issue will not come out.

She added that the fatal attack which claimed the lives of 12 people will not silence free speech in France, and that her colleagues used to joke about the “crazy stupid people who were violent enough to be afraid of a simple cartoon”.

Ms Fourest told Australian broadcaster ABC: “They can continue to be afraid, because there will be more cartoons.

“We have all decided, the journalists who survived and their ex-colleagues, that we are going to have a meeting tomorrow to publish the next Charlie Hebdo, because there is no way, even if they killed 10 of us, that the newspaper won’t be out next week.”
