Je Suis Charlie

The slogan "Je suis Charlie" translates to "I am Charlie" in English and was created by French art director Joachim Roncin to express solidarity with the victims of the 2015 Charlie Hebdo shooting. It identifies a speaker or supporter with those who were killed and by extension, a supporter of freedom of speech and resistance to armed threats. The slogan was widely adopted on social media, displayed in various forms such as placards, stickers, and websites, and became one of the most popular news hashtags in Twitter history. It was used to evoke solidarity with the victims and to express empathy, outrage, and horror. The phrase has been compared to other similar phrases of solidarity such as "Ich bin ein Berliner" and "I'm Spartacus" and has been used by journalists to discuss the issue of censorship and threats.learn more on wikipedia
