Zaheer Mahmood, a 29-year-old Pakistani man, was sentenced to 30 years in prison by a Paris court for a knife attack outside Charlie Hebdo's former offices in 2020. He was found guilty of attempted murder and terrorist conspiracy, influenced by hardline cleric Khadim Hussain Rizvi. Five other Pakistani men were also sentenced for aiding his actions. The attack was linked to the controversial caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad published by Charlie Hebdo, which have sparked global debates on free expression.
