Mr. Urán Rojas in order to establish what happened to this presumed victim. Lastly, it will analyze the alleged violations of the American Convention owing to these acts. B.2.a) Indications of the possible death of Carlos Horacio Urán Rojas inside the Palace of Justice 332. The case file contains statements by individuals who were also in the bathroom between the second and third floors where Mr. Urán Rojas was, who asserted that Mr. Urán Rojas died during the taking and retaking of the building. Thus, Luis Camargo González, judicial assistant of the Second Section of the Council of State, Luz Lozano de Murillo, a State Councilor’s aide, and Aydée Anzola Linares, State Councilor, testified that Mr. Urán Rojas died in the bathroom, although they did not describe how. 506 Also, in 1985, State Councilor Samuel Buitrago Hurtado testified that, following an explosion against one of the walls of the bathroom, “[s]omeone shouted that the hostages should come out,” and Carlos Horacio Urán Rojas went out and fell down “killed by the bullets.” 507 However, in 2007, Mr. Buitrago Hurtado testified before the Prosecution Service that, following the explosion, he saw Carlos Horacio Urán Rojas fall but that “he could not be sure whether he was alive or dead.” 508 333. In addition, the case file contains a documentary video in which Humberto Murcia Ballén states that he met Carlos Horacio Urán Rojas “on a stairway, trying to escape when suddenly […] a grenade exploded and [Mr. Urán Rojas] said to [him], Humberto, I’ve been hit, I’ve been hit. [Then he said that he was dying,] he put his head down and died while [he] was holding him in [his] arms.” 509 Similarly, a first instance judgment against eight members of the M-19 convicted them of the aggravated murder of several persons, including Carlos Horacio Urán Rojas (supra paras. 199 and 207). This judgment concluded that the death of Mr. Urán Rojas “occurred outside the bathroom, because pieces of a fragmentation grenade were found in his body [and grenades …] were not used inside the bathroom, only outside it.” 510 This decision did not consider or reject the hypothesis that Mr. Urán Rojas survived these events and was executed subsequently and, therefore, the wife of Carlos Horacio Urán Rojas filed an application for amparo, which was denied in first instance and, according to the information received, is still pending a decision on appeal (supra para. 200). 334. A judicial inspection made by the Institute of Forensic Medicine of the bathroom where Mr. Urán Rojas had been hiding determined that the “injuries from an explosive fragmentation device [found on his body] lead to the supposition that his death must have 506 Cf.

However, the State did not deny that the 2007 testimony of Mr. Buitrago Hurtado contained this clarification, and the Prosecution Service before whom this statement was given confirmed what the representatives had indicated during the public hearing on the merits in this case.
