Iran Condemns Charlie Hebdo for Republishing Cartoons of Prophet Muhammad
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh sharply condemned the French magazine Charlie Hebdo for re-publishing cartoons that, according to Tehran, offend the Prophet of Islam, Mehr reports.
Khatibzadeh states that insult and disrespect for the Prophet Muhammad and other divine prophets are unacceptable.
The French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo re-published cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, which led to an attack on the magazine's editorial office in 2015 and left 9 employees dead. A special issue of the magazine was released on September 2, the day of the trial of the suspects in the fatal attack.
