Jan Egesborg Arrested In Vienna

The Danish cartoonist Jan Egesborg, who has in the last few years made a name for himself across Europe as a political protest artist working primarily with posters, has been arrested in Vienna for putting up a piece of art criticizing the soon-to-visit Russian President Vladamir Putin's treatment of journalists. Egesborg has pursued this type of political protest in several cities, including Belgrade, Baghdad and Colombo. The article notes that this may be part of an effort by Russian authorities to curb media criticism in anticipation of Putin's visit.
