📅 26 Yanüari 1833 📍 Sürnam

Colonial authorities burned Kodjo, Mentor, and Present alive in a public execution on 26 January 1833 after convicting them in connection with the Paramaribo fire. The punishment made state violence a spectacle. Davis notes uncertainty around the prosecution’s conspiracy narrative; remembering the men requires attention to resistance and to the coercive archive that framed them as criminals.
