A Malaysian political cartoonist known for skewering the country's ruling regime was charged Friday with what his lawyer called a record nine counts of sedition, one of dozens of targets in a deepening clampdown on civil liberties.

Zulkifli Anwar Ulhaque -- who goes by the pen name Zunar -- has faced sedition charges previously for his cartoons and had collections of his works banned, but the current charges stem from his Twitter criticism of the February jailing of opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim.

"How can I be neutral if even my pen has a stand? Being neutral in Malaysia means you are supporting the corrupt government," Zunar told the Malaysian Insider news portal afterward.
