Paris – Circulation of the “survivors'” issue of Charlie Hebdo, published after a deadly attack on the French satirical weekly’s Paris office, is set to top seven million, the distributor says.
A total of 6.3 million copies were for France alone, amid an outpouring of grief and anger over the attack by two Islamist gunmen earlier this month which left 12 people dead, including some of Charlie Hebdo’s top cartoonists. Another 700 000 copies have been sent to overseas markets, the distributor Messageries lyonnaises de presse (MLP) said. The edition dubbed the “survivors’ issue” was published on 14 January, a week after the attack. Before then an average circulation for the controversial weekly, which lampoons everyone from the president to the pope, was 60 000.
