Content description:

Poster has a blue background with the outlines of several people along the bottom. The people are wearing red clothing and one is holding a gun. The poster reads above, "Iran/ People in Struggle for independence and Democracy." A qoute below reads, "Wherever there is oppression there is struggle. And wherever there is struggle there are defeats and victory. But the final victory belongs to the people. This is not my claim, history claims this and the heroic struggle of the Vietnamese people demonstrated this. The people speak this and the people speak the truth. Mehdi Rezail- member of "Organization of Mojahadeen of the People of Iran," 19 years old, tortured and killed by SAVAK.
