Not Comics: Ali Ferzat Appears On Syrian Culture Panel In London

The cartoonist Ali Ferzat was apparently a part of the weekend's Reel Syria event in London, showing up on a panel about that country's culture during this state of crisis. He looks pretty great now a bit more than a half year removed from the brutal assault aimed at his resistance-sympathetic cartooning. He's also still living in Syria. I've heard that he's in Damascus, that he's in another part of Syria and even that he left the country for Kuwait, so that's good to know. That he's in Syria and allowed to travel to such events strikes me as an intriguing thing as well, although maybe I'm completely wrong there.
