Mushtaq’s death in prison casts a shadow on Bangladesh‘s 50th anniversary. We fought for freedom, not to be gagged. #Bangladesh govt should repeal #DigitalSecurityAct and release immediately cartoonist Ahmed Kabir #Kishore. https://twitter.com/saadhammadi/status/1365376804698038272

Global rights bodies and campaigners of freedom of expression have said writer Mushtaq Ahmed should not have been detained in the first place and that his death raises serious questions about the treatment of prisoners unjustly held in Bangladeshi jails.

ICYMI: @Freemuse98 have done a great job summarising a year’s worth of artistic freedom violations in their new report & note a spike in the visual arts through 2020, something Exec Director Srirak Plipat attributed in large part to the problems cartoonists faced in the pandemic. https://twitter.com/Freemuse98/status/1364930689922138121

Our latest #report discovers that the #COVID19 is weaponised against #freedomofexpression, with #censorship justified by governments on the grounds of 'fighting disinformation', silencing #artists through detention, prosecution, and imprisonment.
