Jyllands-posten Cartoon Controversy
In 2006, Zindani pressed charges against 21 newspapers and their editors in Yemen for reprinting the controversial Muhammad cartoons, originally printed in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten in 2005. On November 25, 2006, al-Zidani won the first case—against the newspaper Al-Rai Al-A'm--and the newspaper was ordered to cease printing for six months, and its editor was sentenced to one year of prison.
