Charlie Hebdo to print 1 million copies of next issue

By Around the Web

(Straits Times) One million copies of the french satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo will be published next Wednesday instead of its usual print run of 60,000 even though its staff was decimated in an extremist attack, its staff and lawyer said on Thursday.

Charlie Hebdo will publish next Wednesday to defiantly show that “stupidity will not win,” columnist Patrick Pelloux told Agence France-Presse, adding that the remaining staff will soon meet.

“It’s very hard. We are all suffering, with grief, with fear, but we will do it anyway because stupidity will not win,” he said.
