The 7th of May<\/em><\/p>\n

Update \u2013 Zunar probed this past 7 May 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

After a postponement, Cartooning for Peace member cartoonist Zunar went to the Padang Terap District Police Headquarters past Friday for a two-hour interrogatory<\/a> in connection with an investigation under the Penal Code and Multimedia Act for his cartoon published in January. His mobile phone was confiscated by the police.<\/p>\n

Quoting the latter, who questions the use of the police for political purposes, Cartooning for Peace expresses its concerns concerning the harassment and intimidation of Zunar.<\/p>\n

The recent wave of investigations against critical artists such as Zunar and Fahmi Reza (see link below) for the production of cartoons and a playlist raises concerns. This look back on a time that many thought was over and reflects a worrying growing sensitivity to criticism. Indeed, already in 2018, Cartooning for Peace recounted the situation of the two artists under the previous government in its 2016-2017 report (pages 30 to 33).<\/a><\/p>\n

The association calls for an end to the ongoing investigations against the two protagonists, as they have only commented on events and decisions.<\/p>\n
