Description
Poster, "Don't Keep Chilean Torturers in Business / Don't Buy Chilean Shoes"
White border with central yellow image showing Pinochet and other military generals. It is over-printed with a stamp design reading "Don't Buy Chilean Shoes". Above reads "Don't Keep Chilean Torturers in Business" and below "Make Sure Your Money Does Not Finance the Junta's Bloody Repression".
The poster is promoting a boycott of Chilean goods, particularly shoes, to try and help end the Pinochet regime in Chile, which was known to be undertaking human rights violations. Boycotts of goods has long been a method for trying to bring about political change through economic impacts on the countries or organisations being boycotted.
