27 testimony from Rodolfo Ruano Torres and Toribio Chiquillo Rodríguez- in order to be granted alternative measures to deprivation of liberty, 107. On November 27, 2006, the Second Trial Court resolved the motion ruling it out of order. With regard to the refusal to allow Mr. Ruano Torres to make a statement, the Court admitted “at the moment he wanted to make a statement, he was not paid attention when it was asked.”150 Furthermore, the court maintained that at the end of the pre-trial hearing “he only said he was innocent when that was the moment in the proceeding where he should have stated that he wanted to make a statement.”151 The court also said that the times that Mr. Marroquín pointed him out were spontaneous and direct.152 The court also pointed out that Mr. Ruano Torres could “allege what is relevant in the trial, which is within his right to a material defense.”153 149 108. With regard to the petitioner’s allegations relating to the events that transpired on January 5, 2007, at the Correctional Center in Apanteos in Santa Ana, where José Agapito Ruano Torres was being held, the IACHR issued a press release four days after the events took place. The Commission expressed its profound concern with the violent acts that had taken place in that institution as a result of a mutiny, and which led to the death of 21 inmates.154 Mr. Pedro Torres Hércules reported that after learning about those events, the correctional authorities at the institution told him that Mr. Ruano Torres was not on the list of persons transferred or of deceased persons who had been identified.155 However, he indicated that they recommended that he go to the Forensic Medicine Center since there were “deceased persons who had not been identified.”156 Mr. Torres Hércules states that he was not able to enter that center “because a large crowd of people had gathered there waiting for the opportunity to identify their loved ones.”157 He said that until the moment they were told that Mr. Ruano Torres was still at the Correctional Center in Apanteos, his spouse Naría Maribel Guevara de Ruano and his son Oscar Manuel Ruano Guevara went through “very difficult moments.”158 109. On September 24, 2009, the First Parole and Execution of Sentence Court granted Mr. Ruano Torres parole.159 However, the Office of the Attorney General of the Republic appealed the decision and on October 15, 2009, the First Penal Chamber of the First Section of the Judicial Center revoked the decision.160 149 Annex 25.
