Global Political Cartoons: Malaysian Cartoonist Zunar
Cover of “Even my pen has a stand” by Zulkiflee Anwar ul-Haque.
Zulkiflee Anwar Ulhaque, better known as Zunar, uses his political cartoons to test the limits of free expression in Malaysia.
During his twenty-plus year career, he's been jailed and his books banned.
On July 7, 2011, Zunar was awarded the Courage in Editorial Cartooning Award by the Cartoonists Rights Network International.
Here's a selection of his cartoons featuring some of his favorite subjects.
