This poster was created in 1988 by British artist Paul Peter Piech.

The copy/text on this lino-cut poster reads: “Open your newspaper any day of the week and you will find a report from somewhere in the world of someone being tortured or executed because his opinions or religion are unacceptable to his government.”—Peter Benenson.
