The Dutch government formally rehabilitated Tula, 228 years after his execution for leading the 1795 freedom struggle. The act addressed the colonial state’s criminalization of resistance and recognized Tula as a freedom fighter. Rehabilitation is symbolic recognition; it does not by itself repair the material consequences of slavery or colonial rule.
