143 d) Education and vocational assistance program for all former inmates of the center 321. This Court orders, as a measure of satisfaction, that within six months the State provides vocational assistance and a special education program for former inmates of the center who were interned there in the period between August 14, 1996 and July 25, 2001. e) A resting place for the remains of Mario del Pilar Álvarez Pérez 322. The Court observes that in the affidavit she gave in the presence of a person legally authorized to certify documents, Mrs. María Teresa de Jesús Pérez, mother of deceased former inmate Mario del Pilar Álvarez Pérez, requested “a vault for her son’s body,” inasmuch as his remains will be removed from the cemetery as she does not have the money to pay the expense. Therefore, this Court orders that within 15 days, the State is to provide Mrs. María Teresa de Jesús Pérez with a place in a mausoleum near her residence where she can lay her son’s remains to rest. 323. As for the other claims seeking reparations, the Court considers that the present Judgment is, per se, a form of reparation.228 324. The Court is concerned by the fact that when she gave her affidavit in the presence of a person authorized by law to certify documents, Ms. Dirma Monserrat Peña, sister of former inmate Pedro Iván Peña, expressed fear that reprisals would be taken against her and/or her family. Former inmates Pedro Iván Peña and Raúl Esteban Portillo expressed similar fears when answering a questionnaire (supra, paragraphs 48, 72 and 840). The Court believes it is imperative that the State take particular care to ensure the life, integrity and safety of those persons and their families and provide them with the protection they need against anyone, taking into account the circumstances of the instant case.
