Monday, January 11, 2016

   A ceremony has taken place in central Paris to remember those killed in the Charlie Hebdo attacks a year ago.


President Francois Hollande laid a wreath in the Place de la Republique, where a commemorative oak tree was unveiled, and a minute’s silence was observed, the BBC reports.

In the attacks, jihadist gunmen killed 12 people at the satirical Charlie Hebdo magazine, four hostages at a Jewish supermarket, and a policewoman.

On January 11, 2015, a huge protest against the attacks was held in Paris.

Those protests focused on the Place de la Republique. Sunday’s ceremony remembered that show of unity, which attracted more than a million participants.

Relatives of some of the victims also attended Sunday’s event, the culmination of a week of ceremonies.
