ZE OTAVIO | THE NEW IRAN HOSTAGE CRISIS IS BECOMING A PATTERN FOR POLITICO

We always love the art that Zé Otavio creates for Politico and this one definitely does not disappoint! This cover art titled “We Just Want Johan Back” is about Johan Floderus, an EU diplomat who has spent the last two years in an Iranian prison. “Authoritarian governments have learned that they can trade Western humanitarian works and journalists for convicted killers and intelligence assets.” Doesn’t this sound some-what familiar? It’s mind boggling that this is even happening in our world today and that the new Iran hostage crisis is becoming a pattern. Pick up the mag to learn more.
