The statement also read that the Muslims are aware of the enemy's policies so, won't be received.

"We gathered in front of France embassy to condemn what they did and ask France government to pursue its own affairs (Yellow Vests protests) instead of supporting the insult,  supporting ISIS, and sending contaminated blood to Iran", added the statement.

Those who took part in the rally have urged Iran's foreign ministry to follow up on the case in the international communities.

Many people in the world denounced what Charlie Hebdo has published.
