Prominent Malaysian cartoonist Zunar arrested

Cartoonists Rights Network International calls on the government of Malaysia to immediately release Zulkifli Anwar Ulhaque, aka Zunar, who is being held pending charges under the Sedition Act. We encourage cartoonists everywhere in the world to draw cartoons about Zunar’s situation in prison, and the government’s repeated yet always seemingly unsuccessful attempts at keeping Zunar repressed. Zunar has been invited to speak at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva Switzerland in March on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights’ article in support of freedom of speech. He will also be launching his newest cartoon book on the very day the government has said that it would release him, February 14, 2015.  We call upon all responsible embassies in Kuala Lumpur to send their representatives to the book launching as witnesses to monitor what actions the  Najib government might take against him. Je suis Zunar.
