Cartoonists organisations and NGOs around the world are rallying around local cartoonist Zunar and condemning the Malaysian goverment’s action in imposing a travel ban on him.

Washington-based Cartoonist Rights Network International executive director Robert Russell said the Malaysian authorities’ harassment of Zunar was tantamount to a war of attrition against him.

Among others, Russell cited Zunar’s ongoing sedition case and previous raids on his office as examples of such attempts to weaken the cartoonist, whose real name is Zulkiflee Anwar Ul-Haque.
