Le caricaturiste Siné est mort à l’âge de 87 ans

La page Facebook officielle de Siné Mensuel annonce que le caricaturiste français Maurice Sinet, plus connu sous le nom de Siné, est mort ce jeudi matin « à l’hôpital Bichat des suites d’une opération »

« Il devait subir cette nuit une grave opération du poumon », a indiqué à l’Agence France-Presse (AFP) l’avocat de la famille, Dominique Tricaud. «Mais même gravement malade il avait encore dessiné lui-même la dernière couverture de Siné Mensuel », a-t-il ajouté.
Mercredi, Siné s’exprimait sur le site de Siné Mensuel à propos de sa maladie dans une tribune intitulée « Ça m’énerve grave » :
 « Depuis quelque temps, vous avez dû remarquer que je ne nageais pas dans une joie de vivre dionysiaque ni dans un optimisme à tous crins, ce qui est pourtant mon penchant habituel. Je ne pense, depuis quelque temps, qu’à ma disparition prochaine, sinon imminente, et sens la mort qui rôde et fouine sans arrêt autour de moi comme un cochon truffier. (…) C’est horriblement chiant de ne penser obsessionnellement qu’à sa mort qui approche, à ses futures obsèques et au chagrin de ses proches. »
Un cactus en forme de doigt d’honneur
Le caricaturiste avait déjà tout prévu. Il y a quelques années, il avait en effet acheté sa sépulture, qui se trouve dans la 30e division du cimetière de Montmartre, àParis. Un bronze représentant un cactus en forme de doigt d’honneur surmonte un caveau pouvant accueillir jusqu’à 60 urnes funéraires. Une épitaphe a été gravée sur le socle : « Mourir ? Plutôt crever ! »
Rédigé lors d’un séjour à l’hôpital il y a quelques années, un texte intitulé « Mes dernières volontés » va jusqu’à préciser le nom du producteur du beaujolais qui sera offert aux convives lors de ses funérailles. Le vieil anar y parle aussi de… réincarnation, puisqu’il se voit renaître dans la peau d’un bonobo.
Siné faisait aussi savoir qu’il avait déjà établi une liste de CD qu’il aimerait avoir à son côté quand il serait six pieds sous terre. On y trouve principalement de la musique noire américaine : Nina Simone, Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Dizzy Gillespie, Count Basie, Billie Holiday…
Figure historique de « Charlie Hebdo »
Avant de fonder son journal, Siné avait été une figure historique de Charlie Hebdo. Mais, taxé d’antisémitisme, ce qu’il réfutait, il fut écarté en 2008 de l’hebdomadaire par le directeur de la publication Philippe Val.
L’affaire, qui fit grand bruit, était partie d’une chronique dans laquelle Siné ironisait sur la conversion éventuelle de Jean Sarkozy, fils du président, au judaïsme avant son mariage avec la fille du fondateur des magasins Darty. Journalistes et intellectuels s’étaient alors divisés entre pro-Val et pro-Siné.
Siné avait cependant été relaxé par le tribunal correctionnel de Lyon, qui considérait qu’il avait usé de son droit à la satire, et avait fait condamner Charlie Hebdo pour préjudice moral et financier.
Après son départ de Charlie Hebdo, il fonda Siné Hebdo, mais le magazine ferma rapidement. En 2011, en dépit d’ennuis de santé, il lança Siné Mensuel, qui, face à des difficultés financières, a l’an dernier lancé un appel aux dons.

Iranian Cartoonist Atena Farghadani Released

A legal victory in Iran means a cartoonist sentenced to 12 years will be released early
Fadi Abou Hassan, a Palestinian cartoonist in exile in Norway, drew this cartoon to celebrate the impending release of Iranian artist and activist Atena Farghadani. 
FadiToOnCourtesy
Iranian artist Atena Farghadani had been languishing in Evin Prison serving a 12-year-sentence for a 2014 cartoon she posted on Facebook that portrayed Iranian lawmakers as humans with the faces of monkeys and goats. 
Atena Farghadani posted this cartoon to Facebook in 2014. She was protesting the Iranian parliament's then plan to not allow Iranian women to buy birth control in order to increase the population of Iran.
Atena Farghadani
The cartoon was mocking the members of Iran's parliament, who at the time were calling for bans on women acquiring birth control as a way to increase the population of Iran. But last week Farghadani's sentence was drastically reduced and she'll be eligible to be released in a few weeks.
Iranian cartoonist Nik Kowsar credits Farghadani's lawyer, Mohammad Moghimi, for finding a way through Iran's legal thicket.
"I believe her lawyer did a very good job defending her," Kowsar says, "not making the case political but doing a legal battle with the court."
Instead of making Farghadani an international cause célèbre, Moghimi focused on the intention of her cartoon. In the end, he was able to get the Iranian appeals court to acquit Farghadani of "assembly and collusion against the state" and he also had her sentence for "insulting the Supreme Leader" suspended.
A nine-month sentence for "insulting" the current president and other Iranian officials was reduced to a fine. That left just an 18-month prison sentence for "propaganda against the state" and that term is up as of early May.
Kowsar also spent time in Evin Prison in 2000 for a cartoon that offended Iranian authorities. 
Eventually he resettled in the United States and now works with the human rights group Cartoonists Rights Network International to help cartoonists around the world who are persecuted for their craft.  
He says 29-year-old Farghadani is not strictly a cartoonist but that didn't matter. 
"We had not seen any cartoons from Atena in the past but this specific artwork was a cartoon so that's why CRNI started supporting her," he says. In 2015, CRNI awarded Atena Farghadani their annual Courage in Cartooning Award. 
CRNI, led by Kowsar, also wrote an open letter to the Iranian president, Hassan Rouhani. "Though we knew that the Iranian president does not have anything to do with the judiciary, we thought maybe his office was able to possibly lobby on behalf of all the organizations that were signatories to that campaign."
Kowsar and CRNI sought out IFEX, a clearinghouse of more than 80 freedom of speech organizations around the globe. "Through IFEX we were able to get lots of signatures and also many cartoonists — well-known artists — actually signed that letter and it was sent to the Iranian president."
A separate "drawing" campaign began as well. In 2015, visual storyteller and Washington Post columnist Michael Cavna created the hashtag #Draw4Atena. Cartoonists around the world responded. See some of those responses here.
This story first appeared on PRI.org.

Atena Farghadani, the Iranian cartoonist and activist who was sentenced to 12 years in prison for drawing a politically sensitive cartoon, was released from Evin Prison today, May 3, 2016.
Speaking to Journalism Is Not A Crime, Farghadani’s lawyer, Mohammad Moghimi, confirmed the news of her release.
The 29-year-old cartoonist has been held in Tehran’s brutal Evin Prison since she was arrested on January 10, 2015. She was initially sentenced to 12 years and nine months in prison by the notorious Judge Salavati of Branch 15 of the Revolutionary Court.
Her sentence was based on a wide range of charges for drawing a cartoon that depicted members of the Iranian Parliament as animals. The cartoon was drawn in protest against two proposed bills that would outlaw voluntary sterilization, restrict access to contraceptives, and tighten divorce laws.
But an appeals court reduced her sentence to 18 months, her lawyer said on April 25, 2016.
“The appeals court has made it possible for Miss Farghadani to return to a normal life and normal society,” Moghimi wrote on his Facebook page on April 25. “Thanks to the judge of the appeals court and to everyone who supported her.”
He also detailed the appeals court’s decision:
“Miss Farghadani has been acquitted of the charges of ‘gathering and colluding with counter-revolutionary elements’ and ‘acting against national security.’ The three-year prison sentence for ‘Insulting the Supreme Leader’ has been replaced by a four-year suspended sentence. Moreover, she has received a fine for ‘insulting members of parliament and the president’ and ‘insulting prison guards.’ She has been sentenced to 18 months in prison on the charge of ‘propaganda against the regime’,” he wrote. 
Farghadani was originally arrested in August 2014 and detained for two months – most of which she served in solitary confinement. Following her release, she posted a video on YouTube describing how prison guards had mistreated her physically, which was shared in the press and on social media. Instead of investigating the allegations, authorities re-arrested her in January 2015.
In October 2015, the news emerged that Farghadani faced additional charges, including “indecent conduct” and “illegitimate relations,” after shaking hands with her lawyer during a prison visit. Under Iranian law, it is illegal to shake hands with a person of the opposite sex who is not a family member. Farghadani was later acquitted of these charges.
In addition to imposing new charges on Farghadani, the young artist was also subjected to a “virginity test” in prison, a move that was condemned by human rights groups.
