A drawing by Kurdish artist Ali Zülfikar critical of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has been censored at an exhibition in the German city of Cologne upon a request from the Turkish consul general in Mainz, the German Die Welt newspaper reported on Tuesday.

The drawing shows Erdoğan wearing glasses that reflect a crying child symbolizing war and jailed opposition politician Selahattin Demirtaş. In his hand, Erdoğan holds Islam’s holy book, the Quran, with his fingerprints. This critical drawing triggered outrage at the exhibition in Linz am Rhein.
