39 Years Since Naji al-Ali's Passing
On the 39th anniversary of his assassination, it is worth remembering that the artist and cartoonist Naji al-Ali, born in 1937 in Palestine, died in 1987 after being shot in London by unidentified assailants. He remained in a coma until his death. Naji al-Ali is known for creating the character "Hanzala," which became a symbol of resistance and Palestinian identity. He was renowned for his sharply critical drawings, totaling around 40,000 illustrations, which received international recognition, including the Gold Freedom Pen Award given by the International Federation of Newspaper Publishers in 1988. It is also noted that his art expressed the suffering of Palestinians and his rejection of occupation. He was buried in London with a Palestinian flag draped over his grave.
