Zulkiflee Anwar Haque

Zulkiflee bin SM Anwar Ulhaque (born 15 May 1962), better known by his pen name Zunar, is a Malaysian political cartoonist.

In 2015, he faced up to 43 years in prison for criticising the Malaysian government in a number of posts on Twitter and was charged under the Sedition Act 1948.

Zunar often likes to bring along a pen and notebook inside his travel bag during his drawing excursions, from which he will record ideas from all walks of life and would translate them into caricatures or cartoons.

Zunar's name became well known when he got himself involved in the Reformasi movement following the sacking of then-Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim in 1998.

On 27 July, 2010, he and his employer Malaysiakini filed two separate suits in the Kuala Lumpur High Court to challenge the decision of the Ministry of Home Affairs in banning his books.

[4] On 24 September, 2010, Zunar was arrested by the police and charged for sedition, 3 hours prior to the launching of his just-published book "Cartoon-O-Phobia"[5] and jailed for one day.

He was later charged in relation to nine political images he had posted online, with a potential penalty of up to 43 years in prison.
