#Iran: With internet access still cut, the reports that do emerge are deeply disturbing including thousands of suspected deaths and accounts of sexual assault and torture of detained protesters. The people of Iran deserve our solidarity. We must keep raising our voices.

Congratulations to both Safaa Odah and Mohammad Saba’aneh.

Precisely the experience of Ali Dorani (Eaten Fish), our Courage in Cartooning Awardee in 2016; campaigning on his behalf was complicated in large part by Australia’s avoidance of liability, despite being wholly & directly responsible for the fate of all those held in PNG “processing centres”.

“ U.S. disengagement from institutions that safeguard artistic freedom and cultural rights weakens the global protective frameworks on which artists and cultural workers depend.” — Julie Trébault, Artists at Risk Connection #ArtistsAtRisk #CulturalRights #ArtisticFreedom #FreeExpression

The U.S. decision to withdraw from numerous international and UN-affiliated organizations, including our partner IFACCA, threatens the ecosystem that helps protect artistic freedom and cultural rights worldwide. #ArtistsAtRisk #CulturalRights #ArtisticFreedom #FreeExpression

No social media platform is perfect (and we’ll have some specific findings on that topic later in 2026) but Twitter/X has ceased to serve anyone with a stated interest in human rights, in journalism and factual content, or in democracy and fair processes. 2/2 cartoonistsrights.org/a-statement-...

We stopped using Twitter/X over two years ago & have seen no cause for regret, but the recent incidents of CSAM generated & distributed via proprietary A.I. Grok are a new low. We urge all non-profits still retaining a presence on the site to abandon it immediately. 1/2 bsky.app/profile/lora...

In what has to be the cartooning story of the year anntelnaes.bsky.social left The Washington Post after they refused to run her cartoon of billionaire oligarchs paying tribute to Donald Trump. She describes what turned out to be her year of success. www.dailycartoonist.com/index.php/20...

From visual journalism to reportage and resistance, here are the 10 must-read comics of 2025 selected by ChannelDraw. Reality, politics, memory, and truth—told through powerful graphic storytelling.

Here are the latest trends in comics censorship from 2025. As you might expect, more comics are being targeted and in particular, manga is feeling the heat. So, too, are adaptations, women's non fic, and more. Big thanks to @anuncivilphd.bsky.social for her insights. bookriot.com/trends-in-co...
