Grand News: Ridiculous Sedition Charges Dropped Against Zunar

The nine sedition charges facing the Malaysian cartoonist Zunar were dropped today, in what has to be seen as a major victory for both the longtime harassed cartoonist and free speech in general. The sedition charges were part of a second way of charges that hit the cartoonist after initial police harassment and charges against him failed.

Zunar likely still faces a hostile atmosphere for routine expression of his work, and he smartly told the press that the true victory against these colonial hangovers masquerading as laws will be in their being abolished, but this has to be considered a victory considering how awful things could have gone after a less enlightened decision.
