The British occupier refused to recognize the result of the democratic referendum in 1950. Therefore the Greek people of Cyprus was forced to take their freedom by force. The British occupier reacted with repression and violence. Frustrated by the glorious victories of EOKA, the British installed detention camps as they were experienced to do in other colonies. During the years, many fighters were locked and tortured here on the most inhume and crual way. One well known example of a detention camp is Kokkinotrimithia on the west of Nicosia.
