Episode description

In this special edition of the Index on Censorship podcast, we celebrate the winners of the Freedom of Expression Awards 2019. Mimi Mefo, a leading voice in exposing the mistreatment of Cameroonian journalists, talks about press freedom in her country; Ritu Gairola, from Cartoonists Rights Network International (CRNI), discusses why it is effective for cartoonists to use humour to convey political messages; Carolina Botero, from Fundación Karisma, reveals the online threats we should all know about; and Zehra Dogan, a Kurdish painter and journalist, opens up about finding the courage to continue her work during her imprisonment*. Afterward, we catch up with Terry Anderson, executive director of CRNI, to learn more about threats to cartoonists worldwide.*Zehra is translated in this podcast.
