That with regards to operative paragraph seven, related to the rendering of medical
and psychological services and supply of medications, on August 28, 2008, the State
informed that it has provided psychological attention through the Center for Permanent
Attention of Rabinal, Baja Verapaz, of the Ministry of Health and Social Assistance. It also
indicated that it has appointed medical personnel and psychologists, and performed a
series of activities in seven communities. It added that although the Judgment ordered for
mental health services to be provided in thirteen communities, the State performed a
“diagnosis” whereby it was determined that “there are beneficiaries of the Judgment only in
seven communities.”
24.
That in relation to the psychological attention the representatives expressed, in the
report submitted on October 24, 2008, that the attention provided was not ideal, given that
the designated personnel did not have the necessary knowledge of “the [c]ontext prior to
violence in that region (Rabinal), general aspects of the culture[,] the facts of the massacre
[and] the necessary knowledge with regards to attention to the victims of political
violence,” which has generated mistrust and lack of “empathy” by the victims. That with
regards to medical attention, they expressed the need for diagnosis of each of the
beneficiaries “as a starting point for any treatment that may be provided”, and also
