'''Apostolos "Lakis" Santas''' is a former member of the [[Greek resistance]].

Santas was born on [[February 22]], [[1922]], in [[Patra]] to parents who were originally from the island of [[Lefkada]]. The family moved to [[Athens]] while Apostolos was still young.

Santas entered law school at the [[University of Athens]] but his studies were interrupted by [[World War II]] and the occupation of [[Greece]] by the Germans. On the night of [[May 30]], [[1941]], along with [[Manolis Glezos]], Santas climbed the hill of the [[Acropolis, Athens|Acropolis]] and took down the German flag as a gesture of resistance to the foreign occupiers. He later enlisted in [[EAM]] and fought with [[ELAS]] in the resistance movement.

After liberation in [[1944]], Santas was exiled to [[Ikaria]] and later interred in the concentration camps of [[Makronisos]]. He left Greece and received political asylum in Canada, where he lived until [[1962]]. In [[1963]] he returned to stay in Greece.
