'There was a silence of death,' an artist who was seized by the attackers at gunpoint tells a court.
In the days following the 2015 attacks, millions of people took part in solidarity marches across France and around the world under the slogan "Je suis Charlie" .
Brandishing assault rifles, the gunmen called her by her pen name, "Coco", and said "we want Charlie Hebdo", Ms Rey told the court. "I had a sense of dread," Ms Rey said in court, appearing visibly emotional. "I was in distress, I could not think anymore." "After the shots, there was silence, a silence of death... I thought they were going to finish off the job with all the ones they hadn't killed," Ms Rey said.
