The U.S. Consulate General in Curacao condemns the murder of Helmin Wiels in the strongest terms possible. A passionate advocate for the disadvantaged and unemployed, Wiels bravely fought against corruption and to expand education opportunities for Curacao’s youth. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.
We hope that those responsible will be swiftly brought to justice, and encourage anyone with information to contact the police at 911, 866-6124 or the anonymous 108 line.
