The publication sparked intense protests and a government crackdown, raising concerns about freedom of expression.

The magazine defended its work, arguing the cartoon was misinterpreted and did not intend to offend religious sensitivities.

This incident highlights the ongoing conflict between artistic freedom and the protection of religious beliefs in many parts of the world.
