The Jail Museum at Fort Kochi, also known as Jail of Freedom Struggle, which was renovated by Cochin Smart Mission Limited (CSML) and has eight cells where a host of freedom fighters from the State were imprisoned, was opened to the public on Sunday evening by Minister for Industries and Law P. Rajeeve.
Speaking on the occasion, he said the jail’s history is closely linked to the freedom struggle. Many freedom fighters like A.K. Gopalan, Abdul Rahiman Sahib and a host of others were detained here. There is no other occasion than the 75 th year of Indian Independence to throw open the renovated structure.
