About Andreas Dimitriou
He was born in the village of Agios Mamas, in the province of Limassol, on September 18, 1934. He was hanged on May 10, 1956 in Nicosia Central Prison. Andreas Dimitriou graduated from the elementary school of Agios Mamantos and studied for three years at the Night High School of Famagusta. He first worked in an explosives and hunting shop and later in the British army. He was Secretary of the Porters’ Guild of SEK in Famagusta. He was distinguished for his diligence, initiative and conscientiousness. He was one of the first to join the EOKA force and acted with the Famagusta teams, extending his participation in the executive.
His mind was constantly devising ways to develop activity. The culmination of his action was the seizure of weapons through the military depots of the port of Famagusta, in early December 1955, immediately after their unloading and before being transported and settled. The weapons were promoted to various guerrilla groups, which until then were equipped almost exclusively with shotguns. Digenis expressed his full satisfaction for his action.
