Paris, Sep 9 (EFE), (Camera: María D. Valderrama).- Survivors of the Charlie Hebdo killings took the stand Wednesday at the trial of 14 people accused of helping the two attackers who killed 12 people in January 2015. A third attacker killed another 5 people, increasing the number of victims to 17.FOOTAGE OF THE TRIAL.SOUNDBITES OF RICHARD MALKA, CHARLIE HEBDO'S ATTORNEY:1. "I understand that we may not like 'Charlie Hebdo' but we are obliged to support his fight for freedom. And that requires each one of us, it requires the courage of each one".2. "I saw what happened after the 2011 fire because 2015 di not come from nothing. After the fire, three days later twenty intellectuals dared to say that they did not endorse 'Charlie Hebdo' after being set on fire. They treat them as obsessed islamophobes, they said they support a secular national state, or in other words, a Nazi state."3. "Fabrice Nicolino said it better this morning. The same people who supported Stalinism for years and its worst crimes, tens of millions of dead, whether Stalinism or Maoism... hey are the same ones who today defend the totalitarianism of Islamism. If the victims have spoken about it (in court) it is because it is necessary to speak about the causes so that this trial can serve for something, so that the attack is not reproduced, because it is necessary to provide lessons."

'Kick Out the French' and 'Boycott French products' are written on signs held by protesters, as protests erupt in Pakistan following the decision of the French satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo, the target of a jihadist attack in 2015, to reprint a front cover depicting Allah. Wednesday's issue featured a dozen cartoons mocking the prophet of Islam, including images that sparked huge protests when first published, to mark the start of the trial this week of alleged accomplices to the 2015 massacre.
