Charlie Hebdo depicts Iranian singer Parastoo Ahmadi in a cartoon

Charlie Hebdo mocks Tehran over singer detained for hijab protest

Friday, 12/20/2024

French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo has published a cartoon lampooning Iran's clerical rulers for briefly jailing Iranian singer Parastoo Ahmadi over an unveiled online concert.

The French magazine has often produced satirical content about the government in Iran.

Last year, it launched an international competition titled "Mullahs Get Out" to create caricatures of Iran's Ali Khamenei, whom it described as a “symbol of backward-looking, narrow-minded, intolerant religious power.”
