"Imprisoned Graves" in Nicosia, Cyprus
The "Imprisoned Graves" is a small cemetery located in the Central Jail of Nicosia, where 13 EOKA fighters, during the 1955-1959 liberation struggle for the liberation of Cyprus from the United Kingdom, were interred. Nine of them were hanged by the British, three were killed in action and one died in hospital from his battle wounds.
In August 1960, Cyprus gained its independence from the United Kingdom.
