She was executed in Athens by the collaborationist State Special Security Directorate, which was a section of Hellenic Gendarmerie, because of her activity. Besides her action, she is known for the questioning she had with her interrogator: "Where are you from? I am from Greece. Where do you live? In Greece. What is your name? Greek. Who are your collaborators? They're all Greeks. What is your job? I work for the Greek people.""ΗΛΕΚΤΡΑ ΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΟΥ Μια ηρωίδα του λαού μας, Rizospastis, Sunday 29 July 2001
