Partly because an independence revolt had broken out in Oriente, the colonial authorities were not pleased with criticism and José Martí was arrested in March 1869 and thrown in prison. Four months later during the court session, Martí accepted the responsibility for this accusation and in his final plea he claimed Cuba’s right to independence. He was sentenced to six years in prison. On April 11, 1895, Martí led a landing of Cuban bannings and joined the troops of the Rebal General Máximo Gómez.

Poster made in the Netherlands. The text on the top of the poster reads:”Caution, Danger!”. Aimed against government regulation for the squat house Vrankrijk. In November 1982 the building was squatted to prevent demolition for the construction of apartments. Illegal evictions by thugs failed and in 1992 the squatters prevented an eviction ordered by the court by purchasing the property and taking it under self-management. The building was renovated with the proceeds of the rent and with the help of benefit concerts and subordinated loans and bonds that were sold to the supporters. The cafe was not operated commercially but in fact remained squatted. In 2002 it received an operating and liquor license. The concert hall was renovated again in 2005 and 2006 due to stricter noise requirements. Café Vrankrijk closed for some time in the autumn of 2008 after two visitors were seriously mistreated by a volunteer and resident of the building. One of the victims became permanently disabled due to brain injury and received financial compensation from Vrankrijk. As a result of this event and because the organization of Vrankrijk would have hindered the police investigation, mayor Job Cohen decided to close the squat cafe. In 2012, mayor Eberhard van der Laan announced that the café could reopen under certain conditions.

Poster made in an unknown country. From its origins, Rastafari was intrinsically linked with Haile Selassie, the Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974. He remains the central figure in Rastafari ideology, and although all Rastas hold him in esteem, precise interpretations of his identity differ. Understandings of how Haile Selassie relates to Jesus vary among Rastas. Many, although not all, believe that the Ethiopian monarch was the Second Coming of Jesus, legitimising this by reference to their interpretation of the nineteenth chapter of the Book of Revelation. By viewing Haile Selassie as Jesus, these Rastas also regard him as the messiah prophesied in the Old Testament.
Poster made in an unknown country. Rastas are monotheists, worshipping a singular God whom they call Jah. The term “Jah” is a shortened version of “Jehovah”, the name of God in English translations of the Old Testament. Rastafari holds strongly to the immanence of this divinity as well as regarding Jah as a deity, Rastas believe that Jah is inherent within each individual. This belief is reflected in the aphorism, often cited by Rastas, that “God is man and man is God”, and Rastas speak of “knowing” Jah, rather than simply “believing” in him. In seeking to narrow the distance between humanity and divinity, Rastafari embraces mysticism.

Poster made in Soviet Union, 1986, with Ernst Thalmann. Thalmann (1886-1944) was a German communist politician. He was leader of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) from 1925 to 1933. A committed Stalinist, Thalmann played a major role in the political instability of the Weimar Republic in its final years, when the KPD explicitly sought the overthrow of the liberal democracy of the republic. Under his leadership the KPD became intimately associated with the government of the Soviet Union and the policies of Joseph Stalin, and from 1928 the party was largely controlled and funded by Stalin’s government. The KPD under Thalmann’s leadership regarded the Social Democratic Party (SPD) as Social fascists. Thalmann viewed the Nazi Party as a lesser evil than the social democrats, and in 1931 his party cooperated with the Nazis in an attempt to bring down the social democrat state government. Thalmann believed that a Nazi dictatorship would fail due to flawed economic policies and lead to a revolutionary situation in which the communist party gained power. Thalmann was also leader of the paramilitary Roter Frontkampferbund, which was banned as extremist by the governing social democrats in 1929, and in 1932 he established Antifaschistische Aktion or Antifa, which concentrated its attacks on the social democrats. He was arrested by the Gestapo in 1933 and held in solitary confinement for eleven years; Stalin did not seek his release when he entered into the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact with Germany, and Thalmann’s party rival Walter Ulbricht ignored requests to plead on his behalf. Many of Thalmann’s closest associates who had emigrated to the Soviet Union were executed during the Great Purge of the 1930s. Thalmann was shot in Buchenwald on Adolf Hitler’s personal orders in 1944. In the First World War he was posted to the artillery on the western front, where he stayed till the end of the war, during the course of which he was wounded twice. He said that he fought in the following battles: Battle of Champagne (1915–1916), Battle of the Somme (1916), Second battle of the Aisne, Battle of Soissons, Battle of Cambrai (1917) and Battle of Arras (1917).
