Kianoush Ramezani is both one of the latest in a long line of political cartoonists that have fled the country of Iran after unbearable political pressure was placed on their work and person, and one of the latest class of refugees generally, this time fleeing because of actions taken after last year's unrest within that country's borders. He talks to Golnaz Esfandiari about why he felt he had to leave, how much he misses his homeland, and the circumstances that led him to France. A slide-show of Ramezani's cartoons is presented in conjunction with the article.
