MusaKart_270x180CRNI’s 2005 Award for Courage in Editorial Cartooning was given to Turkish cartoonist Musa Kart.

Musa and his newspaper were sued by Prime Minister Recep Erdogan for a cartoon of the Prime Minister depicting him as a kitten entangled in a ball of yarn. The implication was that the Prime Minister was clumsily entangled in politics. The courts eventually agreed that Musa’s opinion did not amount to libel. Learn more about Musa’s ultimately inspiring story in our Eastern Europe section of our Art to Die For collection.
