79 that are probably psychosomatic in origin. These symptoms have deteriorated their quality of life at the individual, family, social and work levels, because they do not permit the normal development of their social and work activities, their family relationships, and their individual growth; d) The levels of suffering, anguish and frustration caused by the impunity in which the massacre remains are factors that demonstrate the “nonpecuniary damage” suffered by the spouses and children of those executed, and also their parents and siblings. Moreover, given the closeness of relationships in the indigenous communities and that, in most cases, the families live in the same house or in houses that are very close to each other, which results in very close relationships, the spouses and children should be considered close family and, consequently, victims with a right to receive reparations. The Court should establish compensation of US$30,000.00 (thirty thousand United States dollars) for those who suffered “non-pecuniary” damage, owing to the impunity in which the murder of their next of kin remains; e) With regard to those who did not lose next of kin, but who also suffered owing to the denial of justice, the Court should establish the sum of US$30,000.00 (thirty thousand United States dollars) for each survivor. Also, for all the violations of Articles 11, 12(2), 12(3), 13(2), 13(3) and 13(5), 16(1), 21(1), 21(2) and 24 of the American Convention, they requested that the Court should establish the sum of US$25,000.00 (twenty-five thousand United States dollars) for each survivor and next of kin of those executed in the massacre, considering that the militarization of the country and the constant threat to the survivors, made it impossible for them to exercise their rights; f) Given the change of lifestyle that the survivors and next of kin of those executed in the massacre suffered for many years, and the destruction of the social fabric of the Mayan community, which took a long time to recover, the Court should establish an amount, in fairness, for each survivor for damage to their life project; g) The events destroyed the community life project of Plan de Sánchez. Some members of the community were prevented from completing their studies and a whole generation that would have been educated was eliminated. It is therefore necessary to provide the Plan de Sánchez community with a comprehensive educational institute that benefits all the communities affected by the massacre. The State should also offer all the descendants of the survivors of the massacre grants to study in the comprehensive school and at university that include funds for transport, accommodation and living expenses, and h) The Court should order the State to set up a survivor identification committee in order to identify all those who have a right to reparation; and establish an adequate reserve fund so that, once they have been identified, it contains US$11,204,530.00 (eleven million two hundred and four thousand five hundred and thirty United States dollars) to pay the amounts that the Court orders for pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage to the beneficiaries in the judgment.
