Cumhuriyet cartoons without Musa Kart

Cumhuriyet continues to report the news in Erdoğan’s Turkey, despite his regime’s attempts to shut them down; multiple members of staff including their resident political cartoonist Musa Kart have been in jail for nearly 100 days.

For weeks Musa’s spot on the front page was left blank but recently cartoons by others from around the world have appeared in the paper, expressing solidarity with Musa in particular and concern about the conditions for Turkish press and media workers in general.

We commend Cumhuriyet’s efforts in the face of great adversity and for using cartoons to send the message to both their readers, political opponents and government that the wider world is still watching.
