From the BBC:

A cartoonist in Bangladesh has been jailed for a month after the government said his drawings had insulted Muslims.

Bangladesh's home minister said the cartoonist, Arifur Rahman, had hurt the sentiments of the people.

The leading Bangla-language newspaper which published the offending cartoons, Prothom Alo, has apologised and says it has sacked an editor.

Islam is Bangladesh's state religion and past governments have banned publications for insulting Muslim.

The country's religious traditions are moderate but some people believe conservatives are becoming more influential.
