On January 20, 2015, the Online Hate Prevention Institute (OHPI) released a new report “Je Suis Humain: Responsible free speech in the shadow of Charlie Hebdo”. The report is in response to the debate raging in the mainstream and social media on free speech and its limits, if any, in the wake of the attacks in France on the satirical publication Charlie Hebdo, a police officer, and a kosher supermarket.

The report gives background to the terrorist attacks, pointing out its antisemitic nature, and presents the debate on free speech within an Australian context. It also calls for amending Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act to include religion within its purview.
