Response to Misinformation About Grigoris Afxentiou by EOKA Foundation
August 26, 2025
The EOKA Foundation and the Historical Memory Council of the EOKA struggle respond to a podcast that criticizes the reproduction of colonial falsehoods regarding the hero Grigoris Afxentiou. They state that the version of his suicide was fabricated to conceal his murder. They highlight various distortions and false testimonies used by colonial authorities between 1955-1959. The statement condemns the British disdain for colonized peoples and describes the repression suffered in Cyprus. Afxentiou's story is a prime example of this violence and treatment.
