The activity of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, which publishes provocative caricatures, has nothing to do with freedom of speech, Russian Foreign Ministry's Human Rights Ombudsman Konstantin Dolgov said Thursday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – On October 31, a Russian operated Airbus A321 crashed en route from the Egyptian resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh to the Russian city of St. Petersburg. All 224 people on board, including 25 children, were killed. After the incident, the magazine published several caricatures related to it.

"The poor-in-spirit [editors] from Charlie Hebdo stubbornly show that they have nothing in common with journalism, freedom of speech or universal morality," Dolgov wrote on his Twitter account.

Charlie Hebdo gained worldwide attention after a January militant attack on its Paris headquarters that killed 12 people. The gun attack was allegedly motivated by the outlet's publication of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad.
