The latest front page of Charlie Hebdo has been released, showing the Prophet Mohammed shedding a tear and holding a Je Suis Charlie sign under the banner "All is forgiven".

This week's publication, the first issue of the French satirical weekly since last Wednesday's deadly attack in Paris, will be offered in 16 languages.

Its arrival comes amid a boost to security across the country, with more than 10,000 troops mobilised to protect what the defence minister called "sensitive sites".

The surviving members of the magazine prepared the edition in the offices of French newspaper Liberation, which said three million copies would be printed.

"Charlie Hebdo will be in kiosks this Wednesday, January 14. Like it is every week," Liberation said.

"The journalists of the weekly publication finished it at around 21.30 on Monday."

Twelve people, including Charlie Hebdo's co-founder and cartoonist Jean Cabut and editor-in-chief Stephane Charbonnier, were killed when two terrorists attacked the newspaper's offices.

This week's front page was drawn by cartoonist Renald Luzier, known as Luz.

Liberation said the Charlie Hebdo team took up their pens on Friday, "with the objective of showing Charlie Hebdo was not dead".

Shortly after the attacks Luz discussed the symbol Charlie Hebdo had become during an interview with Les Inrocks.

"The media made a mountain out of our cartoons when on a worldwide scale we are merely a damn teenage fanzine," he said.

"This fanzine has become a national and international symbol, but it was people that were assassinated, not the freedom of speech ... people who sat in an office and drew cartoons."

Human rights commissioner Tim Wilson has said cartoons like those published in Charlie Hebdo would be banned in Australia under existing legislation.

The 44-year-old newspaper has always sought to break taboos with its provocative cartoons on all religions, current events and prominent personalities.

The paper's distributors, MLP, had initially planned to print one million copies of the issue, but demand from France and abroad had been huge.

The original paper printed 60,000 copies a week, selling 30,000.

With their headquarters still a crime scene, remaining staff were working with equipment loaned by the Le Monde daily and cash handed out by other French and foreign media.

Charlie Hebdo had been sliding towards bankruptcy before the deadly attack, but since gaining worldwide notoriety in the past few days it has won pledges of support from the French government.

With the attacks the magazine has become a national symbol of free speech.

Huge crowds, including 1.5 million in Paris, took to the streets on Sunday in the biggest rally in French history, many carrying signs saying "Je Suis Charlie".
