'''Andreas Panagidis''' was a [[Cyprus|Cypriot]] [[EOKA]] fighter during the [[1955]] - [[1959]] struggle against the British.

Panagidis was born on [[November 14]], [[1934]] in the village of [[Palaiometocho]], [[Lefkosia province]], the son of Grigoris and Despina Panagi.

When the struggle broke out on [[April 1]], [[1955]], Panagidis, who worked as a cook for the British army at Nicosia Airport, offered his services and was initiated into [[EOKA]] by his local priest.

His first act was to have been the raising of the [[Greek flag]] after the execution of [[Michalis Karaolis]] and [[Andreas Dimitriou]], however, a British soldier found his flag after searching his belongings at the airport. The soldier then demanded that Panagidis wipe his shoes with the flag. Instead of submitting to such a humiliation, Panagidis attacked and beat the soldier.

The next day, Panagidis went to his work, accompanied by [[Michalis Koutsoftas]], and shot Royal Airforce officer Patrick John Hale dead. The two men was arrested and sentenced to die.
They were executed on [[September 21]], [[1956]] along with another EOKA member, [[Stelios Mavrommatis]].

Panagidis was survived by his wife Yiannoula and their three children: Aristides, Despo and Avgi. He was buried in the [[Imprisoned Monuments]] in the Central Jail of Nicosia.
