As part of the special "January 7" issue, commemorating the anniversary of the 2015 Charlie Hebdo attack, the satirical weekly chose to support Iranian men and women and to, in the words of the front page, "beat the mullahs."A wave of protests and repression has ravaged the country for nearly four months after the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian Kurdish woman arrested by the morality police for violating the dress code requiring women to wear head coverings in public, on September 16, 2022."Cartoonists and caricaturists have a duty to help support Iranians in their struggle as they fight for their freedom, by ridiculing this religious leader who represents the past and casting him into history’s garbage bin," urged Charlie Hebdo.Among the very political drawings, the supreme leader is also depicted as Marilyn Monroe, whose dress is lifted by the wind of the headscarves that women have freed themselves from.As the boss of the publication said, "Some drawings are more academic than we would have done, while others are more of a novice nature, but it’s important to be an intermediary and to let them know that they’re not alone.""
