Allan McDonald (born 8 October 1975)[1] is a Honduran editorial cartoonist. "McDonald" is a pen name; his real name is "Norman Allan Sauceda".[2] In 2009, after he published some cartoons that expressed support for ousted president Manuel Zelaya, he was arrested and detained for 24 hours while his house was ransacked by authorities.[3] After this incident he was fired from his position at El Heraldo.[2] In 2013, Allan received an award from the Press Emblem Campaign, an organization that focuses on increasing "the legal protection and safety of journalists".[4][5] The award, "Protection of Journalists and Press Freedom 2013" (Spanish: Protección de los Periodistas y la Libertad de Prensa 2013), had never been given to a cartoonist before.[6]
