File:Nablus Martyrs posters Victor Grigas 2011 -1-87.jpg[edit]

It may be the uploader's camera, but copyright of the mural, itself, is uncertain. ~ Arthur Rubin (talk) (contact me on en-wiki) 07:48, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

They look like al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades posters. Sean.hoyland (talk) 08:37, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Copyright law in the Palestinian territories is rather opaque, but for interest, Getty/AFP routinely publish photos that feature propaganda posters that, at face value at least, appear to rely on freedom of panorama, (see here for example). I would like to see a Commons/Wikipedia copyright expert who understands Palestinian copyright law look at this case if such a person exists. It would be a pity to lose this example of propaganda in the oPt. Sean.hoyland (talk) 12:17, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Is there any way I can help in this?

I took the photo during a walking tour in Nablus last year after Wikimania.

Here are several others that had similar content (some were engraved in stone) which for the sake of completeness should be included in this discussion:

This is a question for en.Wikipedia, but if free of copyright, it could be used in an article on al-Aqusa Bartyr's Brigades, or possibly on propaganda posters, but not anywhere near where you added it. You'll probably notice that it's not presently being used. Arthur Rubin (talk) (contact me on en-wiki) 19:21, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
