Iran: roundabout-dog

Iran summoned Sweden for publishing a cartoon, drawn by the Swedish artist Lars Vilks, in the Swedish newspaper The Local. The cartoon shows the head of the prophet Mohammed on a dogs body.
He draw the caricatures for an art exhibition entitled “The Dog in Art”.
When the organizers found out, they removed the drawings immediately.


In Sweden is a craze about dogs shaped as streetfurniture.
All over Sweden people put out "roundabout dogs", typically made of wood on roundabouts.
These mostly humoristic figures are seen on the streets in Sweden since 2006.
There also is a website.
