Baha’ BoukhariCRNI’s 2008 Award for Courage in Editorial Cartooning was given to Palestinian cartoonist Baha’ Boukhari.
Baha’ Boukhari was threatened and his newspaper shut down by the Fatah movement for a cartoon that criticized the party’s governing style. Fatah even tried to label him anti-Islamic.
