About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The Imprisoned Graves Cemetery is located within the Walls of the Central prison of Nicosia, Cyprus. The Prison is located on the Cypriot side of the U.N. buffer zone. In one of the courtyards there are 13 graves. Nine of the graves are those hanged in 1957 by the British authorities. The remaining Four died during conflict or wounds resulting from conflict. The tombs are confined within a small area resulting in them being stacked two to a grave. Following the war of independence it became a place of pilgrimage and a national memorial. Inscribed on the walls of the courtyard are the words, "The Brave Man's Death is no Death at All". Today the cemetery and cells are a museum commemorating the sacrifice of these 13 to insure the memory of these national veterans.
