-817. The arguments put forward by the representatives during this public hearing (supra Having seen paragraph 15), in which, in brief, they stated the following: a) They had requested provisional measures owing to the ineffectiveness of the measures adopted by the State in the context of the precautionary measures. Guards are only provided to the places of residence; the measures were adopted unilaterally by the State, and they are provided by officials who do not have appropriate training to offer this service: they are unarmed and they require the support of the local police to carry out their tasks. In addition, the guards at the domiciles do not even know the family or the other beneficiaries who are protected. The mobile telephones given to the beneficiaries so that they can communicate with the Coastguard are the only measure that has been mutually agreed with the State. However, it has not been an effective measure, because the Coastguard has no protocol regarding what to do when it receives a telephone call. The beneficiaries have telephoned and no one answered or the person who answered did not know who they were; b) They stated that, according to the official explanation, Tamara Bolívar, Iván Torres, Luis Alberto Alcaína and Marcos Gallardo are fugitives from justice and their whereabouts is being sought. They indicated that David Hayes, Gustavo Cruz, Dante Caamaño and Hugo Álvarez have met violent deaths; c) Regarding the transfers that had been requested, it required a year and a half to obtain authorization to transfer Miguel Ángel Sánchez, and, on July 4, 2006, this measure had not been executed. They are opposed to the transfer that the State says it will make of Juan Pablo Caba, because they have not requested it. He should not be transferred 800 kilometers from his family. Following the issue of the President’s Order, the State has not been in communication with the representatives to coordinate any type of measure. Most of the beneficiaries of the measures have filed denunciations before the Judiciary; d) They requested that, as a measure of protection, members of the Hayes and Torres families should be protected by guards; the latter should be trained personnel and not personnel of the security forces who work side by side with the police of Chubut Province. They stressed that what happened to Valeria Torres on April 23, 2006, occurred outside her home. They also requested the following measures: a guarantee that the granddaughters of María Millacura can attend school normally; a subsidy for Marcos and Valeria Torres since they are unable to work owing to their “situation which is well known throughout the town and the Province, so that the labor market is totally closed to them,” and both they and their mother are looking for Iván every day during daylight hours and “every day they are threatened”; financial resources so that María Millacura can continue looking for her son; a guarantee that Miguel Ángel Sanchez will be transferred to Río Grande urgently, because he has denounced that in the police station where he is currently detained, he is tortured by the chief of police and his deputy; a “special protection program” for Tamara Bolívar, Gerardo Colin and Walter Mansilla, because they are street children; and an urgent and effective investigation, since this is the only way to safeguard the life and physical integrity of all the beneficiaries and to ensure that those responsible for the disappearance of Iván Torres realize that they will be prosecuted; and
