      A number of the Somare political cartoons that have been appearing on Scape and now appearing in emails here and there in PNG were placed on the outstanding blog site of David Ulg, called the

      KONGE NGA KONA

      You can tell that a number of the cartoons were put on the blog by searching google, namely:

      http://images.google.com/images?gbv=2&hl=en&sa=1&q=Somare+GTMaio&aq=f&oq=&aqi=&start=0




      However, if you go to the page where these photos are supposedly deposited, you see nothing!

      Question: Were the cartoons purged following pressure by Somare thugs?

      A posting last week called attention to possible political censorship on Scape so I investigated some older threads where I had come across these cartoons in the past. In all cases these political cartoons have been purged


      Question: Where the cartoons purged following pressure by Somare thugs?


      Cartoons have been reposted on some threads for monitoring purposes.



      Please submit any information you might have on this occurrence so that the suppression of free speech and political censorship can be documented and spread to the independent media websites around the world.



      One URL for all these cartoons has been posted on Scape now and then. It is:
