PA indicts Hamas cartoonist for superimposing PA flag on a donkey

I've mentioned Hamas cartoonist Bahaa Yassin, who has caused controversy with his anti-PA cartoons (no one minds his antisemitism.)

Now, Yassin apparently placed this on his Facebook page:


General Prosecutor's Office in Ramallah issued an indictment against Yassin, based on a complaint filed by two people (who are probable Fatah lackeys). They say that he violated Article 197 of the Penal Code, contempt for the national emblem and the flag of any Arab League country, which can be punished by between 6 months and 3 years in prison.

Yassin, who lives in Gaza, does not seem too worried.
