$250.00

Raúl Sendic (1926-1989) was the founder and leader of the Tupamaros (MLN-T), Uruguay's leftist urban guerrilla movement. He was imprisoned during Uruguay's military dictatorship (1973-1985), during which time he and other political prisoners endured severe conditions. This OSPAAAL solidarity poster calls for his freedom, showing a portrait behind barbed wire with a sunrise/sunburst symbolizing hope for liberation. The campaign for Sendic's release was part of broader international solidarity with Latin American political prisoners during the dictatorships of the 1970s.
