Alert Palestine – Mohammad Sabaaneh

Past alert

27 January 2023

The cartoonist Mohammad Sabaaneh dismissed from a newspaper for a cartoon posted on his personal social media accounts.

Award-winning Palestinian cartoonist Mohammad Sabaaneh has been dismissed by the Palestinian Authority newspaper Al Hayat al Jadida as he explains in a publication relayed by our partner Cartoonists Rights Network International (CRNI).

The reason given for the dismissal was the publication of the cartoon above depicting President Mahmoud Abbas in a dubious and helpless attitude towards the raid of Israeli military forces that killed 9 Palestinian people in the West Bank on the 26th of January 2023.

Cartooning for Peace expresses its solidarity with the cartoonist and denounces this unjust and abusive dismissal. The organisation, which will follow any developments, calls for the respect of his right to freedom of opinion on political matters.

Translation of the cartoon : “Condemn, condemn, or condemn…”
