few people survived the massacre.106 The case file indicates that at least 70 women and 107 children were murdered.107 F. Massacre of May 14, 1982, in Los Encuentros 80. Some of the survivors of the massacre that took place on Pacoxom took refuge in a sacred place known as “Los Encuentros.” There, on May 14, 1982, at approximately 1 p.m., a group of soldiers and patrollers attacked the community, firing at them and throwing grenades. They raped several women, set fire to houses, and tied up and hung a number of people from trees, forcing them to stand on an iron sheet heated by a fire until they died. In this way, the patrollers and soldiers killed at least 79 people.108 Also, on at least three occasions, an army helicopter came to the community and at least 15 people were forced to board it and were never heard from again. Several of the survivors fled to the mountains, where they took refuge from the persecution by the army and the patrollers.109 106 The case file reveals that at least 17 children selected by the patrollers and soldiers to be taken to Xococ survived the massacre: Antonia Osorio Sánchez, Laura Tecú Osorio, Felisa Gonzalez Coloch, Bruna Pérez Osorio and Dominga Sic Ruiz (Denese Joy Burck). Cf. testimony of Antonia Osorio Sánchez (file of annexes to the submission of the case, tome I, folios 484 to 485); Testimony provided by affidavit by Bruna Pérez Osorio (merits file, tome II, folios 992 to 995); Testimony given during the public hearing by Jesús Tecú Osorio; Judgment of November 30, 1998, Criminal proceedings No. 001-98-1 (file of annexes to the submission of the case, tome I, folios 588 to 589); Judgment of May 28, 2008, Case No. 28-2003-OF (file of annexes to the submission of the case, tome II, folios 740, 765 to 778, 834 and 871 to 884), and “Statement made by Denese Joy Burck on March 19, 2001, at the office of the Special Prosecutor of the Public Prosecution Service of Guatemala City, attached to the petitioners’ brief received on May 7, 2007” (file of annexes to the submission of the case, tome III, folios 1772 to 1774). The Inter-American Commission identified one survivor as “Felisa Coloch Gonzáles.” However, the Court has verified that this is Felisa González Coloch. Cf. identity document and birth certificate of Felisa González Coloch (file of attachments to the pleadings and motions brief, tome XXVIII, folios 16849 to 16852). In addition, this Court notes that the Inter-American Commission listed Dominga Sic Ruiz as a survivor of the Pacoxom massacre. However, this person is now known in the United States of America as Denese Joy Burck. Cf. “Statement made by Denese Joy Burck on March 19, 2001, at the office of the Special Prosecutor of the Public Prosecution Service of Guatemala City, attached to the petitioners’ brief received on May 7, 2007” (file of annexes to the submission of the case, tome III, folio 1772). 107 The Inter-American Commission alleged that 203 members of the community of Río Negro were murdered on March 13, 1982. It indicated that, of these, 77 were minors and 50 were adults; however, it was unaware of the age of the other 76 persons. Cf. brief submitting the case (merits file, tome I, folios 34 and 35). In addition, the Court observes that the representatives forwarded a list of 175 persons, 98 of them minors, presumably massacred on March 13, 1982. However, with their final written arguments, the representatives forwarded a list of 167 persons, 98 of them minors, presumably massacred on that date. Cf. “Annex J. List of victims of the Pakoxom massacre” (file of attachments to the pleadings and motions brief, tome XXIII, folios 13751 and 13759), and “List of persons massacred on March 13, 1982” (file of attachments to the representatives’ final arguments, folios 26145 to 26170). At the same time, the Court observes that, according the CEH Report, 177 members of the community of Río Negro (70 women and 107 children) were murdered on that occasion. Cf. Report “Guatemala, Memoria del Silencio,” supra, volume VI, annex I, Illustrative Case No. 10 “Massacre and Elimination of the Community of Río Negro.” In addition, the judgment delivered on May 28, 2008, Case No. 28-2003-OF, established, based on the investigations conducted by the FAFG that, on March 13, 1982, “at least” 143 persons from Río Negro died (file of annexes to the submission of the case, tome II, folio 942). 108 Cf. Report “Guatemala, Memoria del Silencio,” supra, volume VI, annex I, Illustrative Case No. 10 “Massacre and Elimination of the Community of Río Negro.” The Inter-American Commission presented a list of 81 persons who were presumably murdered on May 14, 1982, in Los Encuentros. Cf. brief submitting the case (merits file, tome I, folio 39). Meanwhile, the representatives presented a list of 45 persons presumably massacred in Los Encuentros on that occasion. However, with their final written arguments, the representatives forwarded a list of 61 persons, 33 of them minors, presumably massacred in Los Encuentros. Cf. “Annex K: List of victims of the massacre at “Los Encuentros” (file of attachments to the pleadings and motions brief, tome XXIII, folios 13760 to 13762), and “List of persons of the village of Río Negro, massacred on May 14, 1982, in the community of Los Encuentros” (file of attachments to the representatives’ final arguments, folios 26172 to 26180). 109 Cf.
