France is set to mark the 10-year anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo attacks, which sparked a national debate on freedom of expression and religion. President Emmanuel Macron and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo will lead commemorations at the site of the newspaper's former offices, which were stormed by gunmen in 2015. The attacks resulted in the deaths of 12 people and led to a period of heightened security and religious tensions in France. Charlie Hebdo has published a special edition to mark the anniversary and has organized a God-themed cartoon contest as a symbol of resilience and optimism.
