The French cartoon magazine whose satire made it the target of a deadly Islamist attack in January has drawn new controversy with its latest edition, which derides the response of some European countries to the masses of migrants trying to enter Europe from the Middle East.
Cartoons in Charlie Hebdo are circulating and being criticized on social media, Reuters reports. One shows a billboard advertising two children's meal menus for the price of one looming over a drowned toddler who looks very similar to a widely circulated picture of a Syrian boy's body.
A photograph of Aylan Kurdi, who washed up on a beach in Turkey earlier this month after a failed attempt to reach Greece, galvanized world attention on the migrant crisis.
A Charlie Hebdo spokeswoman told Reuters the newspaper was unaware of any complaints filed against it. It received an outpouring of solidarity after the January attack, over drawings mocking the Prophet Muhammad, in which two assailants killed 12 people, including its editor-in-chief.
