Bahrain Mirror (Exclusive): The Brazilian cartoonist Carlos Latuff posted (Thursday, April 16, 2015) a caricature against the Formula 1 Grand Prix to kick off on Friday in Bahrain.
The caricature depicts how the Bahraini regime is using the Formula 1 tournament in order to overshadow human rights abuses. The cartoon portrays the Bahraini King Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa aiming the exhaust fumes of a racecar at the world, covering its eyes, while a policeman beats a peaceful protester.
Latuff is well-known for his support for the Bahraini uprising that erupted on February 14, 2011, and has expressed his opposition to the Formula 1 races in Bahrain over the past few years by a number of caricatures that gained popularity worldwide.
