Two years after Charlie – A tribute to persecuted cartoonists

Editorial published on January 06, 2017

On the eve of the second anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo massacre, Reporters Without Borders (RSF), Cartooning for Peace and other cartoonists’ associations pay tribute to all press cartoonists who defend media freedom by means of their cartoons.

The threats they receive are barometers of free speech, acting as indicators of the state of democracy in times of trouble.

Political, religious and economic pressure, censorship, dismissal, death threats, judicial harassment, violence and, in the worst cases, even murder : as a profession, they are clearly threatened.
