Numerous journalists and others have expressed solidarity with the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in the wake of a deadly attack on its offices, with some calling for other media to republish some of its most famous — and offensive — cartoons in sympathy with the victims.

The hashtag #jesuischarlie started trending on Twitter in the hours following the January 7 assault that killed at least 12 people, including four of Charlie Hebdo’s main cartoonists.

The weekly, known for poking fun at religious and political leaders, is most famous outside France for its issues and cartoons that have lampooned the Prophet Muhammad.

French newspaper Le Figaro used the hashtag to report on a solidarity rally planned for later January 7 in Paris.
