The magazine is being called the "survivors' edition" - which features an image of the Prophet Mohamed on the front cover - and is being distributed in French, English, Italian, Spanish, Turkish and Arabic.
The cartoon on the front depicts the prophet holding up a ‘Je suis Charlie’ (‘I am Charlie’) sign under the words: ‘Tout est pardonne’ (‘All is forgiven’).
