Kalaputi Jani
Jani Kalaputi was born in the village Nestram, Kostur region. He was
a member of the CPG and at the time of the Hitler occupation participated
actively in the national liberation struggle. He rose up the ranks of
the CPG in the Kostur region and worked in Kostur. His revolutionary
patriotic activity led to his arrest by the German Gestapo and he was
brutally tortured to betray the organisation. They cut pieces of his
flesh from his body. They poured salt into his wounds and finally hanged
him.
Jani died calling out "Long live CPG!"
