Cartoonists Rights and Cartooning for Peace present their joint report on threatened cartoonists – Cartoonists on the Line.
CARTOONISTS RIGHTS are pleased to announce a new report on the situation of cartoonists facing threats to their freedom of expression around the world, written jointly with colleagues at Cartooning for Peace, and supported by our partners the Freedom Cartoonists Foundation.
Interventions from politicians and their allies result in pressure applied to popular cartoonists in Italy, Portugal, and South Africa.
Following her sudden and unexplained arrest in June, three weeks of harsh detention, and ultimately hospitalization, a video of cartoonist and visual artist Atena Farghadani was aired via Iran International television describing the events she alleges occurred while held at Qarchak Prison outside Tehran.
CARTOONISTS RIGHTS defends the human rights of cartoonists under threat. We want to empower cartoonists to tell their stories.
