58. Victoria Lucía Grisonas Andrijauskaite was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on April 16, 1945 and subsequently obtained Uruguayan citizenship by naturalization. She was the daughter of Anatolio Grisonas, chargés d'affaires of the Legation of Lithuania in Uruguay, and Lucía Andrijauskaite. Victoria Grisonas married Mario Julien in Uruguay. On August 1, 1970 she was detained along with her husband for “subversive activities” and in the context of the Prompt Security Measures she was held at the “Dr. Carlos Nery” School of Nurses. In 1974 Victoria Grisonas reunited with her husband in the city of Buenos Aires. She was detained in the context of the military operation carried out on September 26, 1976, and taken to “Orletti”; to this day she has been disappeared.33 59. Anatole Boris Julien Grisonas, the son of Mario Julien and Victoria Grisonas, was born in Montevideo on September 25, 1972. In 1974 he emigrated with his mother to the city of Buenos Aires. Victoria Eva Julien Grisonas, the second child of Mr. Julien and Ms. Grisonas, was born in Buenos Aires on May 7, 1975. Both siblings were detained along with their mother in the operation of September 26, 1976, taken to “Orletti,” and then transferred clandestinely to Uruguay and subsequently to Chile, where they were abandoned in the Plaza O´Higgins of Valparaíso on December 22, 1976. After spending time in an orphanage they were adopted in 1979 by a Chilean couple, Jesús Larrabeiti and Silvia Yáñez; they were registered as Anatole Alejandro and Claudia Victoria Larrabeiti Yáñez. That same year the biological paternal grandmother determined the whereabouts of the siblings who, while they remained with their adoptive family, reassumed their identity and their ties with their biological family. 34 Anatole and Victoria currently live in Chile, where they exercise the profession of prosecutor and psychologist, respectively.35 D. Facts of the case 1. On the operation carried out on September 26, 1976 60. On Sunday, September 26, 1976 a police and military operation was carried out at the home of the Julien-Grisonas family, located at calle Mitre 1050 corner with calle Carlos Gardel in the locality of San Martín, province of Buenos Aires. The operation began in the early afternoon and continued until dusk. It is considered shown that the SIDE and the Federal Police were in charge of the operation, and also that Army personnel participated. The deployment of the repressive apparatus included a large number of heavily armed forces, most in uniform, a large number of vehicles, and two armed personnel carriers that cut off the traffic at both ends of the block. The area was literally taken by military and police forces, who are said to have cut the electricity and the phone lines on that square block.36.According to an administrative proceeding initiated the day after the operation due to a wound suffered by police inspector Rolando Oscar Nerone, the objective of the operation was “the destruction of the military sector of the subversive organization O.P.R.33 (ORGANIZACIÓN POPULAR REVOLUCIONARIA 33 ORIENTALES).”37 61. Due to the intense and continuing number of shots fired at the home, Mario Julien apparently decided to escape through the rear of the adjoining lots; he was then detained at a house situated at the same corner. One of the neighbors stated that Julien “left the house detained by [the] soldiers, who took him to the corner where the bar is, and there he fell to the ground, though I could not say for sure he was already dead at that moment. His body fell into the street.” 38 One of the hypotheses initially mentioned was that Julien had committed suicide at the moment he was detained by ingesting a cyanide pill. The same witness also recounted that “immediately after the man fell down dead … they removed the woman and their two children from the Secretariat for Human Rights for the Recent Past. Persons detained/disappeared due to responsibility and/or acquiescence of the State. File relating to GRISONAS ANDRIJAUSKAITE de JULIEN, Victoria Lucía.
