The cover of the latest edition of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo has been published that depicts the Prophet Muhammad holding a sign that says "Je suis Charlie" meaning "I am Charlie", a phrase that has been widely adopted by people to show their support to the magazine following last week's attacks in the French capital.
According to BBC, the magazine lawyer Richard Malka said that it is crucial for them to show that their staff will "cede nothing" to extremists.
Three million copies of the latest edition have been printed in contrast to the usual 60,000 copies available each week.
Malka said that they will not give up and the spirit of "Je suis Charlie" meant "the right to blaspheme".
The survivors of the magazine's staff are working from the offices of another French title, Liberation.
