CARTOONS — It’s World Food Day. This cartoon by Ballouhey is a good reminder that what’s food for some can be nothing but money for others.

💬 “Back in the day, this plain used to grow a lot of wheat [in French, ‘wheat’ also means ‘money].’”

We very much welcome yesterday’s intervention from the UN Human Rights Council Special Procedures on behalf of Egyptian cartoonist Ashraf Omar and calling for his release. We thank the three Special Rapporteurs and members of two Working Groups who co-signed.

Screen-grab of a release dated 22 September 2025 on the website of the UN Human Rights Council’s Special Procedures.
The headline reads “Egypt: High time for cartoonist Ashraf Omar’s pre-trial detention to end, say UN experts”
