He was killed by the British on August 2, 1958, in the orchards of Lysi.

Anastasis Souroullas or Tassos, as he was called, graduated from Lysis primary school and was a farmer-worker. He became more active in EOKA after August 6, 1956, when his younger brother, Dimos, rebelled, so Tasos took over the supply of his brother’s rebel group and acted as one of the liaisons between the two Lysis rebel groups. After February 10, 1957, when his brother was arrested and sentenced to death along with his comrades, in a movement of theirs, during which the hero Patroklos Kokkinos fell, Tasos became even more active, assuming responsibility also in the militia groups organized by EOKA.

On August 1, 1958, the rebels of Lysis, reinforced by fighters from the village, set up an ambush near Lysis during which three military cars full of soldiers were hit, resulting in the death of two soldiers and the injury of many others. The next day the English imposed a fortnight’s house arrest and conducted searches. During the confinement, Anastasis Souroullas, Georgios Hatziionas and Christofis Panagidis broke through the village cordon and ended up in the fields heading towards the village of Tremetousia. However, they were spotted by the British who flagged them down with a helicopter, which strengthened the search. According to the testimony of a shepherd who was watching, the Turkish sergeant of the Athienou police station, head of the Auxiliaries, with other Turks from the village of Arsos, set up an ambush for them and, helped by the English, they killed them. The autopsy revealed that the three youths were hit with automatic weapon bullets in the head and speared in the abdomen and other parts of the body
