Georges Wolinski

One of the few cartoonists to survive an Islamist militant attack on France's Charlie Hebdo journal is leaving the publication, saying he can no longer bear the pressure.

French President Francois Hollande said Jan. 15 that Muslims were the "main victims" of fanaticism, as five of the 17 killed in last week's Islamist attacks in Paris were laid to rest.
      

The prominent Turkish satirical cartoon magazine Leman released a special issue in honor of Charlie Hebdo on Jan. 12, featuring on its cover a picture of killed cartoonist Wolinski drawing while wearing a taqiyah [Islamic skullcap] at Istanbul?s famed Eyüp Sultan Mosque.

Many artists worldwide have been posting their cartoons online in reaction to the news about Wednesday's massacre in Paris.

A total of 12 people died in an attack on the office of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, well-known and respected cartoonist Georges Wolinski among them.

Voicing his 'fear,' Hürriyet columnist Ertu?rul Özkök writes about a chat he once had with Georges Wolinski, who was killed in the attack at the offices of the French satirical magazine. I know one of the people who were killed at the office of Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris very well.
