Go, Read: Bangladeshi Blogger Reaction This article looks at the reaction of bloggers and human rights organizations to the jailing of Bangaladeshi cartoonist Arifur Rahman. The young cartoonist was jailed two weeks ago because of a cartoon that ends in a word play using Muhammed -- Rahman's own first name, and a common name given by Bangladeshi men -- as the name of a cat. This incident has represented an almost nightmarish stretching of reaction to art related to the Prophet Muhammed, and has provided an example how legislation designed to mitigate civil unrest can lead to artists being put in jail. Unlike most articles of its type, the survey piece also includes a badge (seen at left) to put somewhere on your site in support of Rahman, and invites you to join a facebook group for updates.
