39 Years passed since the assassination of Naji Al Ali (born c. 1938 – 29 August 1987).

Cartoons often have the power to uncover deceit and deliver uncomfortable, shocking messages by drawing attention quickly and getting straight to the point.

Over the past 25 years since the early 60s, the late Palestinian cartoonist Naji al-Ali produced over 40,000 drawings and several books of cartoons, raising awareness of the Palestinian plight under Israeli occupation and harshly criticizing Arab regimes and imperialist policies.

Naji al-Ali's most famous character is Handala, a ten-year-old barefoot child, dressed in ragged clothes. The boy, always drawn from behind while watching all the bad that is happening on Earth, has over time become a symbol of resistance, giving voice to the poor and oppressed everywhere.

This year marks the 39th anniversary of the assassination of Handala's creator, Naji al-Ali, as he was murdered outside Alqabas newspaper office in the UK in 1987.
