Photo of the Week – January 9, 2015

This week’s photo was taken on Wednesday night at Place de la Republique in Paris, France, where thousands gathered to protest the attack of three Islamist gunmen on Charlie Hebdo, the French satirical newspaper, which occurred earlier that day. Yesterday, the remaining staff announced that they would continue the weekly publication. Next week’s edition will be printed in a increased run of one million copies.
