In what is becoming an unsettling pattern, an Egyptian state security prosecutor extended the detention for cartoonist Ashraf Omar for yet another two weeks. It is his fourth extension since he was abducted from his home in July by plainclothes officers.

Ashraf, whose work appears in Al-Manassa, has been a vocal critic of the Egyptian government. He’s being charged with “joining a terrorist group, publishing false news, and misusing social media.”
