Summary  
The document details a classified message related to the dissemination of propaganda materials linked to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. (April 4, 1968). It references a poster created by the Latin American Solidarity Association (LASA) featuring a large image of "Tiger's Mouth" and the slogan "Black Power," with additional text in English, French, Spanish, and Arabic promoting revolutionary violence. The materials were sent via the Czechoslovakian postal system to Cuba for distribution in Latin America. Envelopes addressed to various communist recipients in Colombia, including Diego Montana Quellan, TASS Agency, and Communist Youth organizations, were intercepted by Cuban intelligence on April 10, 1968. The receipt of these materials in Bogota on April 12 was noted as unusually fast for propaganda items arriving in Colombia.
