Türkei: Journalisten droht Untersuchung wegen der Veröffentlichung des aktuellen Charlie Hebdo Covers. News that a detained Syrian cartoonist is dead is impossible to verify. It's a tale of two worlds colliding: social media and a war-torn country ruled by a dictator.
Syrian political cartoonist Akram Raslan was arrested and detained in Hama and thrown into a Syrian security prison in October, 2012. Since then, no one on the outside has heard from him - not family, friends or colleagues. Several days ago, Cartoonists' Rights Network International (CRNI) posted a notice that they had received information that Raslan was dead.

Then the uprisings happened and my orientation, although still centered on issues animating that project, had to evolve in response to new circumstances--conditions that have produced moments of joyous camaraderie, as well as ongoing experiences of anxiety, fear, nostalgia, and soul-crushing loss.

His face is almost everywhere. With a stoic gaze and a stately uniform, Field Marshal Abdul-Fattah Al-Sisi looks out from magazine covers displayed at Cairo’s corner newsstands and posters decorating gas stations in sleepy Red Sea towns. Following the military’s ouster of the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Mohammed Morsi last July, a nationalistic fervor has gripped Egypt, and media outlets have widely lionized the retired general. He’s been cast as the next executive, although elections won’t be held until the end of the month.

The privately owned daily newspaper Al-Masry Al-Youm had censored a number of cartoons that criticized the interim military council marshaling the country’s so-called democratic transition. In a coordinated protest, five cartoonists drew a sturdy pencil, each in her or his unique style.
The visual statement was simple enough that a child could understand it. With editors deferring to the junta and rejecting cartoons, these crude drawings were as far as cartoonists could go in print on that October day.
