Charov Risto
He was born in 1927 in the village of Mokrni. In 1945 he was arrested
by the police and forced to the Kostur prisons where he remained until
1946. After his release he joined the partisan ranks. In the major operations
of the monarcho-fascists in Nitruzi he, fighting to the last grenade,
enabled the unit to save itself, but he was captured. His holding out
in the face of the monarcho-fascist enemy was outstanding for a fighter-communist.
For that reason he was shot in Megara after being subjected to brutal
torture.
