Iran News poster 52e, memorial and freed prisoners (Farsi, distributed in Tehran)

A Farsi 'Latest News' sheet in maroon and yellow, headed 'Eternal Festival Ceremony'. Four photographs show the Shah speaking with a bereaved woman and a man before framed portraits of fallen soldiers, and two groups of men with luggage.

The tell is testimonial: freed prisoners are presented as witnesses.
