Zulkiflee Anwar Haque, aka Zunar, is a Malaysian political cartoonist who has been repeatedly targeted by authorities on account of his work. Five of his cartoon books have been banned by the Malaysian government for allegedly carrying content “detrimental to public order” and thousands confiscated in an effort to curtail freedom of expression.

Zunar told an audience gathered at the Amnesty International Human Rights Action Centre about his battle against corruption through his work as a cartoonist.
