8. The State’s report of June 12, 1998, in which it reported on various measures taken to monitor Ms. Cárdenas’ situation, and indicated that the studies conducted on the other protected persons detected a medium level of risk, for which reason it was not necessary to implement security plans, but, instead, recommendations of a labor, personal and general nature. With regard to the headquarters of the Association of Families of Detainees and Disappeared Persons of Colombia (hereinafter "ASFADDES"), it pointed out that progress was being made with implementation of the recommendations for providing them with security. In conclusion, it considered that "the purpose of the measures has been fulfilled." CONSIDERING: 1. That the information submitted by the State and the observations made by the Commission show that Ms. María Eugenia Cárdenas continues to be the victim of threats and acts of intimidation. 2. That with regard to the other persons in favor of whom provisional measures were adopted, there is still cause to maintain those measures for a reasonable period of time, there being no evidence that the circumstances of extreme gravity and urgency have ceased. 3. That the State’s reports and the Commission’s observations show that the premises of ASFADDES in Riosucio have been closed down, although the possibility exists of transferring them to Manizales with State economic support; that the Ocaña premises have been definitively shut down and the Medellín premises are still open; that the investigation and punishment of those responsible for the acts denounced by the Commission, particularly the attack of June 24, 1997 on the ASFADDES offices in Medellín have not been completed and the State must therefore continue to take measures that would enable those situations to be resolved. 4. That some aspects of the information dispatched to the Court by the Commission and the State are contradictory, specifically with regard to the threats and harassment to which Ms. Cárdenas is being subjected and to the police investigations, according to which no involvement of military personnel has been established in the homicide of Ms. Cárdenas’ brother, which, according to the Commission, demonstrates total ignorance of the situation of risk in which Ms. Cárdenas finds herself. 5. That the efforts made by Colombia in adopting provisional measures, while demonstrating its willingness to fulfill them, are not sufficient for those measures to be lifted. NOW, THEREFORE, THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS, in exercise of the powers conferred on it by Article 63(2) of the American Convention on Human Rights and Articles 25(1) of its Rules of Procedure, RESOLVES:
