The Syrian Revolution/ 5
This story has been brought in some Western media… a quote from storyful.com below, more can be read on the site where also the cartoonist’s regime critical works can be watched:
Famous cartoonist and scathing critic of Syria’s Ba’athist regime, Ali Ferzat, has been plucked off the streets of Damascus and badly beaten in an attack blamed on security forces and militiamen loyal to president Bashar al-Assad. They say that the pen is mightier than the sword, but the attack appears to be an attempt to get the prizewinning satirist to sheath his weapon of choice and to silence this voice. Support for Ferzat has been pouring in via his website, his own Facebook page, a Facebook supporter page, and on Twitter.
