Bangladesh shuts madrasas, forbids banners for India tour

[Khalid Newazi]

Are you referring to the cat incident? I'm pretty sure that issue of the news was banned and all copies were seized by authorities. So it's not really freedom of speech granted there. I also thought he went to jail at some point, there was an interview where he mentioned some jail time.

He wasn't jailed, but he was "threatened" to be put in jail if he didn't attend court and he didn't.

@jamahir that's what happened (above)

this below one??

On 17 September 2007, a cartoon titled Naam (Name) was published in the 431st edition of Alpin. The cartoon, by 20-year-old cartoonist Arifur Rahman, featured a conversation between an elderly man and a boy and the controversy is regarding the text rather than the pictures as had been the case in previous such incidents. When the boy was asked what his name was, he omitted the prefix Muhammad, used by some Muslims to show respect to the Islamic prophet Muhammad. The elder informed him that he should use the prefix in front of all names. In the final strip, the man asked the boy what was in his lap to which he replied "Muhammad cat".[3]

cats were greatly respected by hazrat muhammad... was the controversy about depiction of the prophet??

unless, the cartoonist doesn't like cats or those who objected don't like cats.

Well, the fact that the entire issue is now gone and from now on that cartoonist should probably sign his cartoons with a pen name is punishment enough.
