Another of my toons against #F1 in #Bahrain turned into graffiti in Barbar

(Associated Press) A Bahraini carrying a child passes a wall Thursday, April 5, 2012, in Barbar, Bahrain, west of the capital of Manama, that is painted with graffiti depicting Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa in a race car, calling for a boycott of this year’s Formula OneBahrain grand prix, scheduled for April 22. The Arabic is a signature reading “free men of Barbar.” A year after an anti-government uprising forced Bahrain’s rulers to cancel the kingdom’s coveted Formula One race, the grand prix is again smack in the middle of a power struggle.


(Foto) Manifestante no #Bahrain manda um recado ao brasileiros

A foto, enviada pelo defensor dos direitos humanos no Bahrain, Said Yousif Almuhafda, mostra manifestante exibindo uma charge que fiz ano passado, em que o rei Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa disparando uma lata de gás lacrimogêneo produzida no Brasil. A Condor Tecnologias Não-Letais, com sede no Rio de Janeiro, é um dos fabricantes destes artefatos que tem feito muitas vítimas no Bahrain. Os manifestantes querem que o Brasil pare de vender gás lacrimogêneo para a ditadura do rei Hamad. O site Operamundi publicou artigo a respeito: http://operamundi.uol.com.br/conteudo/noticias/18590/gas+lacrimogeneo+fabricado+no+brasil+e+usado+para+reprimir+protestos+no+bahrein.shtml
