4 groups of three agents in 48 x 48 hour-shifts. Out of the three agents, two were assigned to the physical security of Helen Mack [Chang] and one agent protected the family residence”. However, on April 21, 2008 the Secretariat of Administrative and Security Affairs informed Mrs. Mack Chang that it would stop providing that service, so the National Civil Police would offer that custody service. To that end, on April 23, 2008 Mrs. Mack Chang met with officials from the Coordinating Presidential Commission of the Executive’s Policy on Human Rights (hereinafter “COPREDEH”) and an official from the Provincial Government Ministry, who proposed the service of various security agents to protect Mrs. Mack Chang and her relatives. Nevertheless, the representatives indicated that such change was announced late, and the State had not provided them with enough information to determine the skill of the agents proposed. The representatives also pointed out that Helen Mack “is[was] being protected by security elements “provided” by people who had shown their concern for Mrs. Mack’s life and physical integrity, while the residence of her family was fully unprotected”. 8. That regarding the protection offered to the other members of the Myrna Mack Foundation, the representatives indicated that the Foundation was protected by the police in a fixed post in its facilities and by a perimetral protection in its surroundings but as from January 2008, the State unilaterally withdrew the security it was offering to the Foundation’s headquarters. The representatives pointed out that at the meeting with COPREDEH and the Provincial Government Ministry on April 23, 2008, COPREDH and the Ministry were engaged to start the process to select agents, but the representatives had not received any further information about such process. 9. That in the briefs of June 17 and July 15, 2008, the representatives informed the Court that on June 4, 2008 the representatives received a proposal by the State regarding a security team formed by six agents recently graduated from the National Civil Police Academy. The representatives added that the State established that the candidates would be subject to an interview and their files could be revised by the representatives, who agreed with the proposal and requested that such agents should be trained in protecting personalities and that a psychological profile was established. However, by the time of such communications the representatives had not received an answer about the implementation of the new protection measures. In spite of the above, the representatives informed that since a vehicle had been stolen from the Foundation’s parking lot on May 27, 2008, the representatives requested the National Civil Police Station to set up a fixed security post at the Foundation as well as perimetral security in the residences of Mrs. Mayra Alarcón Alba, Executive Director of the Foundation, and Helen Mack. 10. That due to the above facts expressed by the representatives about the change in the implementation of the security measures in favor of Helen Mack and her relatives, as well as the members of the Foundation, in a brief of February 21, 2008 the State informed that COPREDEH had sent two briefs of an urgent nature to the Secretary for Administrative and Security Affairs in order to provide protection once again, according to the agreements reached between the beneficiaries and the State. Likewise, the Provincial Government Ministry requested that the fixed security post should be restored at the Myrna Mack Foundation headquarters. Later on, the State expressed that the Secretariat for Administrative and Security Affairs had informed the State that the protection provided had been modified “due to the restraints of personnel and above all due to the lack of legal basis”; therefore, in order to continue offering a security service to the beneficiary, the corresponding coordination would be made so that as from March 2008 the service was provided by the Provincial
