A. - Arguments. A.1. Alleged violation of the right to humane treatment [personal integrity] of Néstor José Uzcátegui 160. The Inter-American Commission did not present arguments in relation to the alleged violation of this right to the detriment of Néstor José Uzcátegui. 161. The representatives argued that when the police officers entered the bathroom of the house where Néstor José Uzcátegui was, “they began firing at him indiscriminately, affecting his physical safety with bullet shots to his body.” They added that during the incident Nestor did not resist and that “the lack of respect for his personal safety and dignity was evident from the moment of the armed raid on his home until his subsequent extrajudicial execution.” Finally, they added that the cruelty and violence used during his arrest, the beatings and assaults to which he was subjected, the anguish and uncertainty he experienced prior to his extrajudicial execution and the serious physical and emotional injury inflicted, reached such a degree of severity and violence that it caused Néstor José Uzcátegui intense physical and psychological suffering, all of which constitutes a serious violation of his right to humane treatment.” Consequently, the representatives consider that the State violated Article 5(1) and 5(2) of the American Convention to his detriment. 162. The State argued that it did not violate the right to humane treatment of Néstor, Carlos and Luis Uzcátegui and the rest of the family members. A.2.

In particular, the Commission emphasized that the two brothers were forced into a police vehicle and were beaten while under arrest, all of which amounts to cruel, inhumane, and degrading treatment. The Commission added that the fear they felt at being secretly taken to an isolated area by police on the day of their brother’s execution and after being beaten and hooded, knowing that the same thing could happen to them, is a violation of their rights under Article 5 of the American Convention. 164. The representatives stated that while under arrest, Luis and Eduardo Uzcátegui were insulted, physically assaulted and threatened, which produced a feeling of intense suffering and anguish. The added that due to their arrest, they were unable to attend the funeral of their brother Néstor. 165. The State did not present specific arguments in this regard. A.3. Alleged violation of the right to humane treatment [personal integrity] for the threats and harassment suffered by Luis Enrique Uzcátegui 166. The Commission argued that Luis Enrique Uzcátegui was a victim of death threats, physical attacks and numerous acts of harassment by police officers of the State of Falcón, which were intended to frighten him, so that he would not continue making allegations about the death of his brother Néstor and other victims of this type of police operation.
