For the parish in the island of São Nicolau see, Tarrafal (São Nicolau) . Tarrafal (also known as ''Campo da Morte Lenta'', "Camp of the Slow Death") was a concentration camp in the Cape Verde Islands , then a Portuguese colony, set up by the dictator Salazar before the Second World War (1936) where anti-fascist opponents of this right-wing regime were sent. At least 32 Anarchists, Communists and other opponents of Salazar's regime died in that camp. The camp was closed in 1954 but was re-opened in the 1970s to jail African leaders fighting Portuguese colonialism. EXTERNAL LINKS |
