Homage to the Fallen Compañeros

1972

The image reproduced on the front cover of this booklet is in fact the front cover of another booklet. The first, published in November of 1971, is a bulletin published by Argentina’s Movimiento Nacional Contra La Represión y La Tortura - or, in English, the National Movement Against Repression and Torture. The cover represents a ‘homage to the fallen compañeros’ in reference to those killed and disappeared by the state, long before the official installation of the military junta in 1976. The front cover was then reprinted on a booklet produced in Switzerland in 1972 by the Comité de Défense des Prisonniers Politiques Argentins - The Defense Committee for Argentine Political Prisoners.
