The caricature was drawn commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution. <\/p>\n<p>  The caricature, drawn by Marco de Angeles, was censored by the Lebanese General Security and consequently banned from print and circulation but many Lebanese figures, activists, and journalists chose to share the image in protest of this censorship.  <\/p>\n<p>  Journalists <B>Nadim Koteich, Dima Sadek, and Omar Harkous,<\/b> as well as photographer <B>Wael Ladki<\/b> are now facing legal repercussions after an activist named Fadi Hodroj filed a complaint against them.<\/p>\n<p>  It is
