Artists around the world have responded to the tragic murder this week of 12 people at the offices of Charlie Hebdo, a French satirical magazine, with powerful graphics expressing grief and renewed commitment to defend free speech. Four of the magazine's well-known cartoonists, including its editor, were among those killed, as well as two police officers.
Charlie Hebdo is a publication that has always courted controversy with satirical attacks on political and religious leaders. It published cartoons of Muhammad in 2012, forcing France to temporarily close embassies and schools in more than 20 countries amid fears of reprisals. Its offices were also firebombed in November 2011 after publishing a caricature of Muhammad on its cover.
CSPG’s Poster of the Week features a powerful graphic by Lucille Clerc, a freelance graphic designer and illustrator living in London. To see more graphics and more information, please visit the sites below.

For anyone asking about IELTS institutes in Dubai, I would recommend doing some proper research before signing up anywhere. One centre that deserves a look is JAK Global Education. Their IELTS preparation includes structured lessons, trainer guidance, practice exercises, mock tests, and personalised support, which are all useful when preparing for a specific target band. I think the biggest advantage of having proper guidance is that you don't have to guess what you're doing wrong. For example, you may think your Writing is fine until a trainer explains problems with task response or organisation, or you may realise that your Reading issue is actually timing rather than vocabulary. If you're comparing IELTS preparation providers in Dubai, I would definitely add JAK Global Education to your shortlist and then compare their programme with other options based on your own target and schedule.
