Charlie Hebdo gets fresh death
threats over cartoon of Tariq Ramadan
The provocative magazine suffered a deadly terrorist attack in 2015
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo said Monday it was pressing charges after receiving fresh death threats over a cartoon of the religious scholar Tariq Ramadan who faces rape allegations.
The provocative magazine suffered a deadly terrorist attack in 2015 after publishing blasphemous cartoons.
The Swiss academic has been accused of rape by two women after the Harvey Weinstein scandal unleashed a wave of sexual abuse accusations worldwide.
Ramadan, 55, has furiously denied the accusations as a "campaign of lies launched by my adversaries."
"Rape," reads the caption on Charlie Hebdo's cover. "The defense of Tariq Ramadan."
Laurent "Riss" Sourisseau, the magazine's editor, said the threats and hate mail had "never really stopped" after the January 2015 terrorist attack in which 12 people were gunned down at its offices.
"Sometimes there are peaks when we receive explicit death threats on social media - this has been the case once again," he told Europe 1 radio.
"It's always difficult to know if these are serious threats or not, but as a principle, we take them seriously and press charges."

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
