2018 Malaysia / Fhadi Reza
The problems for Fahmi Reza, cartoonist and activist of the "Occupy" movement, started on 31 January 2016 when he posted on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter a poster with a caricature of Najib Razak as a clown with the message "In a country full of corruption, we are all seditionists" , a direct reference to the sedition law.
The image of the sinister clown went viral becoming a symbol of the "political circus" of corruption in Malaysia and was used both online and in other street protests and ended up printed on T-shirts, stickers, posters, trainers and other media.
After being questioned, then arrested and sentenced to one month in jail and a fine of RM30,000, or six months in jail for non-compliance, Fahmi Reza managed to raise funds to pay the fine through a crowdfunding campaign and had not yet started serving his sentence pending the High Court's decision as he had appealed.
Two years after the publication of the cartoon, in 2018, his jail term was commuted and the fine, already paid, was reduced to RM10,000.
Reza is not the first cartoonist to be charged with sedition and tried in Malaysia under the "Multimedia Act", but he is the first to be convicted, as cartoonist "Zunar", after a long trial was acquitted of all charges.
