One of the few cartoonists who survived the attack on the French magazine Charlie Hebdo leaving the newspaper explaining that it can not handle the pressure.
Renald Luzier, better known as Luz, announced his decision in an interview with the daily Liberation, which helped Charlie Hebdou re-released after the attack that killed most of the newspaper's cartoonist.
"Each new edition was torture, because the others gone," said Luz, who drew the cover for the first issue after the attack on the magazine.
"No sleep at night and accusing the dead, thinking what would Charbel, Cabo, Honore and Tignousa done - is exhausting," he added.
Pressure at work after the attack and media pressure reasons are cited as key to making a decision about leaving.
It will draw caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad
Luzier said recently that will not draw caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad because it is "remembering".
The attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine, in which he killed 12 members of the board, took place on January 7.
The first issue of the weekly, which are compiled after the attack the surviving members of the editorial board, with Luzovom caricature of the Prophet Muhammad, who holds the inscription "I'm Charlie" and subtitled "All is forgiven", sparked new demonstrations in several Muslim countries.
The issue was published a week after the attack and was released in eight million copies, a record in the French press.
