Polemi Concentration Camp, Cyprus, drone views.

The Polemi Detention Center was one of eight British camps in Cyprus during the Cypriot War of Independence. From 1955 to 1959, the Ethniki Organosis Kyprion Agoniston (National Organisation of Cypriot Fighters), or EOKA, led an armed campaign against British colonial rule. Polemi opened near the end of the conflict and only operated for 102 days. But during that brief period, some 400 resistance fighters who were detained there experienced violence, cruelty, and torture. The camp was notorious for its horrific and inhumane conditions. In November 2017, 35 former EOKA fighters sought damages from the British government for the human rights abuses they experienced during the war. Today, the site of the former concentration camp is barren. A few structures remain, including a guard tower, some old military vehicles. One of the remaining buildings hosts a small display explaining a bit about the camp and the people who were imprisoned there. Filmed on DJI Mini 2.
