14 born. 38 68. It was in this period that Juan Ricardo Pacheco Tineo, who has Chilean nationality, was 69. On February 3, 2001, Rumaldo Juan Pacheco Osco and Fredesvinda Tineo Godos left 39 the Republic of Chile through the immigration control on the Chacalluta road. There is nothing in the record to suggest that the Pacheco Tineo family had renounced their refugee status or that any resolution 40 had been issued in Chile to that effect. 70. The Commission does not have clear information about what happened between February 3 and 19 2001. D. Entry to Bolivia on February 19, 2001, and expulsion to Peru on February 24, 2001 1. Visit to the offices of the National Immigration Service (SENAMIG) 71. The Pacheco Tineo family entered Bolivia on February 19, 2001. The following day Rumaldo Juan Pacheco Osco and Fredesvinda Tineo Godos went to the offices of the National Immigration Service. According to the version of events offered by the SENAMIG, the reason for the visit was "to request that they be allowed to cross Bolivian territory into Chile or that the immigration 41 authorities of Bolivia take them to that country.” 72. The SENAMIG version of events indicates that when they presented themselves at those offices, "it became clear that the whole family had entered Bolivia illegally," that "they evaded and made a 42 mockery of the mandatory border and immigration controls in Peru and Bolivia," that “at no time did they demonstrate that they were refugees” and that there was “evidence that they had renounced their status 43 as refugees and requested their voluntary repatriation in March 1998.” 73. The information available suggests that, as the petitioners claimed, their documents were withheld at the SENAMIG. According to the state, “the possession of the passports was the responsibility of the Department of Inspections and Immigration Bonds, taking into account that these documents were 44 45 not in order” and their return was denied. 38 Petitioners’ brief received on October 21, 2004; Appendix 13.

On this last date it was noted that "the above persons should have no impediment whatever to enter Chilean territory, or require any visa or special authorization.” See Appendix 28.
