A Paris court on Wednesday handed jail terms ranging from four years to life to more than a dozen people convicted of helping gunmen who attacked satirical weekly
Charlie Hebdo and customers at a Jewish supermarket in January 2015.
Survivors and family members of the dead sat in silence as the verdicts were read out, which they hailed afterward as a victory for justice and freedom of speech after a sometimes traumatic trial that revived the horror of the killings.
