19 photos of the massive marches happening in Paris right now

On Sunday, hundreds of thousands of French people and concerned activists rallied in Paris, France, to honor the memory of 17 people killed in a series of mass shootings and hostage incidents in Paris since the New Year.

After militants believed to be associated with radical Islamist groups stormed the offices of satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, killing 12, the subsequent manhunt resulted in the deaths of four civilians and three gunmen. Many Muslims condemned the attacks, while others decried the massacre as an assault on liberal values.

Paris march is largest demo in French history, says official

A French official has said the Paris unity rally is the largest demonstration in French history, Associated Press reports.

Calling the rally “unprecedented,” the French interiror ministry says the demonstrators are so numerous they spread beyond the official march route, making them impossible to count.

French media estimate up to 3 million are taking part, more than the numbers who took to Paris streets when the Allies liberated the city from the Nazis in World War II.
