April 1st is the day the struggle for the liberation of Cyprus begun by EOKA in 1955 under the leadership of Georgios “Digenis” Grivas.
The struggle of the Greek-Cypriots to repel the British yoke in Cyprus has been painted with blood and many sacrifices and heroism in the fight for “the dream”, which was the union with Greece.
Greek Cypriots who claim they were tortured by colonial forces when they were members of a guerrilla group in the 1950s are seeking damages from the British government.
