Dr. Hill’s steadfast advocacy for human rights and justice, particularly during the nation’s struggle against Indonesian occupation, has left an indelible mark on the collective memory of the Timorese people. Her seminal work, “The Timor Story,” stands as a poignant testament to her passion and commitment to shedding light on the injustices faced by the nation.
Throughout her life, Dr. Hill’s tireless efforts and unwavering support for Timor-Leste, notably in advancing its education sector, have exemplified her belief in the transformative power of knowledge and her dedication to a brighter future for all.
As the nation mourns the loss of Dr. Helen Hill, the Ombudsman for Human Rights and Justice of Timor-Leste extends its deepest condolences to her family, friends, and colleagues. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time of grief.
