• Opposition claims Syrian army preparing to attack Homs
The Guardian
"...
10.56am GMT / 5.56am EST Syrian cartoonist Ali Ferzat, who was beaten by the security forces in August, has been named reporter of the year, by Reporters Without Borders and Le Monde.
As Enduring America notes the Reporters Without Borders secretary-general Jean-François Julliard said:
"This year we are honouring a courageous journalist who has been the victim of brutal repression by an obsolete government. Ali Ferzat fully deserves this award. His cartoons target the abuses of a desperate regime with its back to the wall and encourage Syrians to demand their rights and to express themselves freely."
The Egyptian photographer ghazalairshad produced this Flickr gallery of Cairo exhibition of Ferzat's work and cartoonists response to his treatment.
