Description: The cartoon shows Dominique Prieur, one of the two French Secret Service agents who blew up the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior in 1985 when it was moored at Marsden Wharf in Auckland. A Portuguese crew member, Fernando Pereira was killed. The Rainbow Warrior had been involved in protests over French nuclear testing in the Pacific. Prieur is sitting proudly on the top of a tall plinth and is very pregnant. Crowds of French admirers down below shout 'Vive l'assassine!' (Long live the assassin!) Dominique Prieur and Alain Mafart were were arrested and charged with murder, but both pleaded guilty to manslaughter and were sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment. They were to serve their sentences in full on Hao Atoll in French Polynesia. In what was considered to be the final insult, both were released early: Alain Marfart returned to France because of 'illness' in 1987, while Dominique Prieur was repatriated in May 1988 because she was pregnant. Both were honoured, decorated and promoted upon their return home. Quantity: 1 original cartoon(s).
