Stylianos Lenas

Stylianos Lenas (Greek: Στυλιανός Λένας; 20 June 1931 – 28 March 1957) was a member of EOKA, and one of the Cypriots who were wounded in battle against British soldiers.

He went to Lero for further studies and when he returned, he opened a shop and later worked as a plumber.

He led his team during the 1 April attacks, alongside Markos Drakos, in blowing up the Wolsey Barracks and later trained sabotage units in Lysi.

In a battle with the British Army in the area of Potamitissa on 17 February 1957, Lenas was seriously wounded and captured.

[3] He was buried at the Imprisoned Graves in the Central Jail of Nicosia alongside Drakos and Afxentiou; the British feared a publicly accessible grave would provoke demonstrations.
