Havana, Feb 13 (RHC) The Cuban caricaturist and cartoonist Javier Cubero Torres won third place today in the 20th International Caricature Festival, held at the Opera House of Damascus.

At the event dedicated this year to the Palestinian resistance and the Palestinian cartoonist Naji Al-Ali, the first prize went to the Iranian artist Ismail Babaei and the second to the Russian Anatoly Radin.

Cubero said he feels honored to contribute his art to this edition dedicated to Naji Al-Ali and the resistance of the Palestinian people.
