Charlie Hebdo publication director, cartoonist and writer Laurent Sourisseau, known as Riss lays a wreath in tribute to French police officer Ahmed Merabet, a victim of the jihadist attack on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, on the ninth anniversary of the attack in 2024.

France has marked 10 years since an Islamist attack on the Charlie Hebdo satirical weekly set off a wave of terror that shook the nation and led to fierce debates about freedom of expression. Tributes were led by President Emmanuel Macron and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo at the three sites where 17 people, including eight journalists, were murdered. RFI was there, following the events with our live blog.

Commemorations took place in Paris the former offices of Charlie Hebdo on rue Nicolas Appert, where 11 people were murdered, before moving to boulevard Richard Lenoir, where police officer Ahmed Merabet was slain. A final tribute was held at the Jewish Hypercacher supermarket at Porte de Vincennes, where four hostages were killed two days later.
