Mumbai Police Again Accused Of Working Against A Cartoonist

A young Indian cartoonist has moved his domain and hosting to an American-based service after complaints from Mumbai's police department caused a local carrier to take down his web site. The cartoonist is 24-year-old Aseem Trivedi, and while I can't find the "Cartoons Against Corruption" site named in the article, new or old, his personal web site seems to be here and is up and running. The cartoons in question are like many on his site in that they apparently had a political, satirical focus; the linked-to article says the nature of the complain was not about the supposedly satirical content directly, but the way Trivedi employed the nation's flag.

In September, the Mumbai police department denied asking that a cartoon by Satish Acharya be taken down. Trivedi is considering legal options.
