Libya's rebel cartoons

A caricature of Muammar Gaddafi is painted on the wall of the garrison headquarters where a major battle took the lives of more than 100 people last month in the rebel stronghold of Benghazi March 11, 2011. Like many dictators, Gaddafi carefully controlled how his image was used, often portraying himself as a deity or beloved leader. With the rebellion, however, freedom of expression in rebel controlled areas means that ridicule has become a key weapon in the fight against the climate of fear that has long gripped the country. Anti-Gaddafi caricatures and graffiti have sprung up across cities such as Benghazi portraying him in an unflattering light. REUTERS/Finbarr O'Reilly
