The program, released by the Cape Verdean Presidency, starts at 5:00 PM (7:00 PM in Lisbon) with a visit to the Book Fair in the capital, Praia, where Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa will be received by his Cape Verdean counterpart, José Maria Neves.
Immediately afterwards, the two heads of state will visit the exhibition "50 Years of April - Before and After" at the National Historical Archive of Cape Verde.
Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa ends the day with a reception for the Portuguese community.
May 1st will be spent entirely at the former Tarrafal concentration camp, now the Museum of Resistance, the central stage of the commemorations, which will also be attended by the Guinean President, Umaro Sissoco Embaló, and a representative of the President of Angola, thus completing the range of four countries of origin of the political prisoners.
The program includes the unveiling of a commemorative plaque, a special session with the heads of state and a conference on the Tarrafal camp by historian Victor Barros.
In the afternoon, the presidents will take a guided tour of the camp and the day's commemorations will end with a concert featuring Mário Lúcio (Cape Verde), Teresa Salgueiro (Portugal), Paulo Flores (Angola) and Karyna Gomes (Guinea Bissau), with free admission.
The Portuguese President's program for Thursday in Cape Verde is still being finalized.
A total of 36 people were killed by the Portuguese colonial dictatorship in the Tarrafal concentration camp.
The majority, 32 dead, were Portuguese who opposed the fascist regime, imprisoned in the first phase of the camp, between 1936 and 1956.
The camp reopened in 1962 with the name Campo de Trabalho de Chão Bom, intended to incarcerate anti-colonialists from Angola, Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde -- when two Angolans and two Guineans died.
In all, more than 500 people were imprisoned in the "slow death camp".
