Update On Assaulted Syrian Cartoonist Ali Ferzat

All I'm seeing at this point is information gleaned from the cartoonist's web site: a photo of a candlelight vigil at the cartoonist's house, a photo of the bloody t-shirt that Ferzat wore the morning of the attack, a lengthy account the only new thing (I think) is that Ferzat was abducted after having his car intentionally slammed into by another car, and something we linked to late last friday, a post denying any direct affiliation with a purported self-portrait making its way around the Internet.

The only other things I see out there are the expected Cagle cartoon round-up and a cartoon of support at Cartoon Movement.

I'll keep an eye on the story if there are any developments, such as an effort by cartoonists in the U.S. and in other countries to aid Ferzat, CR will cover it.
