| Cartoonists stand up for Syria's Ali Ferzat: Animated Taiwan-style | |
| Uploaded by NMAWorldEdition on 30 Aug 2011 http://www.nma.tv Syrian leader Bashar Al-Assad has led a brutal crackdown on dissenters during his country's months-long uprising.

Pictures of Ferzat, both his hands broken by goons, outraged cartoonists the world over. They fought back in solidarity, using their pens to draw more caricatures attacking Assad than Ferzat could ever manage. Will Assad's other brutal actions eventually backfire on him? | |
