(1) Imprisonment of political dissidents rarely ends opposition to the government.

Explanation:

This is the political cartoon that the question refers to. In this cartoon, we can see Nelson Mandela coming out of jail. He is much larger than the government, and much larger than when he went in. This is meant to symbolize the fact that imprisonment turned Mandela into an even more important figure than he was before. The guards claim that they taught Mandela a lesson. However, the statement is meant to be ironic, as the cartoon suggests that imprisonment did not end opposition to the government, but instead strengthened it.

Hello. You forgot to add the necessary cartoon for your question to be answered.

The cartoon is attached below:

(1) Imprisonment of political dissidents rarely ends opposition to the government.

Explanation:

The cartoon attached below shows how the arrest of political leaders is made to diminish them before society and make them appear weak and powerless so that opposition to the government (which these leaders defend) is wiped out. However, what happens is exactly the opposite.

When these leaders are arrested, the prison makes them great figures. This arrest shows how the government is afraid of losing its position, making opponents stronger and seeing its leaders as big people with significant authority.

This can be seen in the cartoon the moment Mandela comes out of prison. Although Mandela's executioners believe that they taught the political leader a lesson, Mandela comes out of prison much bigger than them, much more imposing and with an image of power and strength.
