"Cyprus Concentration Camps"

--- CONTENT ---
The Cyprus Concentration Camps were special places for the capture and detention of Greek Cypriot fighters, without prior trial, during the epic four years of the 1955-1959 liberation struggle of Cypriots. More than 3,000 EECA fighters were reportedly detained in these camps.

General
S.S.Cyprus was created by the English, according to Hitlerian standards, in July 1955. Initially with the outbreak of the anti-colonial struggle (1 April 1955) and by November of the same year, the militants arrested were held in the Nicosia Central Prisons as well as in Kyrenia Castle.

So throughout their confinement they remained essentially hostages to the prison guards and colonial army.

During the day political prisoners could move to the small court, read books, sports by primitive means, engage in crafts or draw mental power by reading the Bible.
