King Mohammed IV of Morocco has an interesting view on freedom of speech. He’s against it. On February 8th he had a cartoonist arrested for daring to draw a caricature of him.
A few days later a young protester was sentenced to prison for 3 years for criticizing the king in a Youtube video.

I think the king might warm to the art of caricature if he was more exposed to it. Seems to me to be a good idea to offer him another take to help him through this transitional period.
Thanks to the great caricaturist Leo Martins in Brazil for this story.
