Fort Zeelandia December Murders
The murders took place at Fort Zeelandia, this is not just a coincidence. Back in the eighteenth century, a lot of torturing and murdering of slaves took place here as well. Those incidents still had a great impact on the Surinamese society even after slavery was officially forbidden. People always thought of Fort Zeelandia as a place of pain and misery. When the december murders took place here, it was also a reminder of the previous events that happened there. So the effect that the December murders had on the Surinamese society was even bigger because it took place at Fort Zeelandia.
