The poster reads: "Liberty for Harry Seidel and thousands of political prisoners in communist East Germany." Seidel is a West German student jailed in East Berlin for helping Refugees.

After he got caught in 1962, the highest court under notorious judge Heinrich Toeplitz of the GDR sentenced him to life in prison in a show trial. He was incarcerated at the Brandenburg-Görden Prison. In 1966, the Federal Republic of Germany bought him out of prison. Fast safe and reasonable shipping, with tracking.
