Wilhelm Turnier (Wilo)

Wilhelm Turnier - (Wilo)
Born on April 5, 1937. He grew up in Port-au-Prince. He was Hector Riobé's best friend and he became very active with Hector in a group that had participated in a military action against Francois Duvalier's gorvernment. He was arrested at his house in July 1963. He endured his interrrogation with courage and pride. He was sent to Fort-Dimanche to die. His three brothers, Jean Claude, Webert Jr. and Lesly who was 12 years old were also arrested and sent to Fort-Dimanche.. Jean Claude was placed in the same cell than Wilhelm and recalled the last moment spent with him and he remembered that Wilo was very firm and very courageous, and had no regret about being in Fort-Dimanche on death row. He was ready to accept death with pride and dignity for having opposed the retrograde regime of Duvalier. Jean Claude was released shortly thereafter with Webert Jr. and Lesly. Wilhelm was never to be seen again. He was allegedly executed in September 1963
