But at what cost? Sometimes there is a price to pay, and <strong>a high one</strong>, for holding power accountable with satire.</p><p><br></p><p>A cartoonist is fired because of a drawing. A cartoonist <strong>is forced to flee the country</strong>, after receiving multiple death threats. A cartoonist is <strong>arrested and, while in custody, is tortured</strong>.
