- Imprisoned_Graves abstract "The "Imprisoned Graves" are a set of graves in 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 British executioner Harry Allen, three were killed in action and one died in hospital from wounds.The tombs were built in an area adjacent to the cells of the condemned and close to the gallows where they would be executed. The area is surrounded by tall walls and covered by glass.Having a small, private cemetery was the idea of Cyprus Governor Sir John Harding, who did not want the funerals of EOKA fighters to be turned into demonstrations against British rule. The condemned, as well as the four others who died, would be buried in the area without any relatives or a priest present. The nine men who were hanged were buried immediately following their executions. To save space, they were buried two to a grave.The nine men who are hanged on the gallows were:Michalis Karaolis - executed 10 May 1956Andreas Dimitriou - executed 10 May 1956Iakovos Patatsos - executed 9 August 1956Andreas Zakos - executed 9 August 1956Harilaos Michael - executed 9 August 1956Michail Koutsoftas - executed 21 September 1956Stelios Mavrommatis - executed 21 September 1956Andreas Panagidis - executed 21 September 1956Evagoras Pallikaridis - executed 14 March 1957The other four were:Markos DrakosGrigoris AfxentiouStylianos LenasKyriakos MatsisAfter Cyprus gained her independence, the area became a national monument where thousands visit. A sign proclaiming "Του ανδρειωμένου ο θάνατος, θάνατος δεν λογιέται" - "The brave man's death is no death at all" was put up against one of the walls.During the Turkish invasion of Cyprus (1974) battles raged around the Central Jail of Lefkosia. Vastly outnumbered, the Cypriot national guardsmen - aided by corrections officers - managed to fight off the Turks and keep the jail with its Imprisoned Tombs from being captured.Today, the cemetery along with the cells and the gallows function as a museum.".
