A Cartoon against Every Lash is a series of 50 cartoons supporting Raif Badawi as a symbolic protest to the 50 lashes, he was flogged publicly on Jan 9. As a cartoonist, I decided to use my art as a tool to help the movement for his freedom and started working on the series few days back. After 'Je Suis Charlie', It's time to say, 'Je Suis Raif.' We could do nothing for the french fellows of Charlie Hebdo, but in this case, our support may matter. So, I'd request you to please join the movement and raise your voice against the injustice.
