Worldwide demonstration of solidarity after Paris attacks

France is still reeling from the events of a turbulent week in which 12 people were shot dead in an attack on the satirical magazine "Charlie Hebdo", a policewoman was killed and four hostages lost their lives in an attack on a kosher supermarket. In this photo gallery, we show some of the key images of the past week from Paris and around the world.

"Paris est Charlie" (Paris is Charlie) is projected onto the Arc de Triomphe in Paris in tribute to the victims of a deadly attack on the Paris headquarters of the French satirical magazine "Charlie Hebdo". Following a search that lasted two days, elite commando units killed the two men suspected of being responsible for the massacre as well as the man who took hostages at a Jewish supermarket.
One of the policemen killed in the attack on "Charlie Hebdo" was the French Muslim Ahmed Merabet. Speaking at a press conference, his brother Malek appealed for calm: "My brother was a Muslim, and he was killed by people who pretend to be Muslims. They are terrorists. That's it. […] Don't tar everybody with the same brush, don't burn mosques or synagogues. You are attacking people. It won't bring our dead back and it won't appease the families."
People the world over took to the streets to show their solidarity and demonstrate their shock at the events in Paris, such as here at a rally outside the French embassy near the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin on the evening of the attack.
The pen is mightier than the sword: a man holds an oversized pencil aloft as a symbol of the freedom of the press and a gesture of defiance to the gunmen who killed "Charlie Hebdo" staff members and the police detailed to protect them. Like the phrase "Je suis Charlie", the pencil has become a symbol of resistance and solidarity following the attacks.

Four of the fatalities in France's three-day wave of violence were Jews killed in an attack on a kosher supermarket hours before the start of the Jewish Sabbath.
The weekend saw an unprecedented wave of rallies across France, with over 1 million marching in Paris alone and over 900,000 in Marseille (pictured here), a city on the Mediterranean with a high immigrant and Muslim population. France's Interior Ministry called the marches the largest in French history.

Security measures have been tightened around the French capital, with police officers now guarding both Muslim and Jewish buildings. Pictured here: a French policeman stands in front of the entrance to the Grand Mosque in Paris as French Muslims gather for Friday prayers. On Monday, 12 January, the Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve announced that almost 5,000 police officers would be deployed to protect over 700 Jewish schools across the country.

At a joint press conference, Merkel made an unequivocal statement about Germany's Muslims: "Former President Wulff said Islam belongs to Germany. That is true. I also hold this opinion. I am the Federal Chancellor of all Germans; that includes everyone who lives here permanently." She also praised German Muslims for distancing themselves clearly from violence.
