65 315. The Commission considers that the nature of the facts described thus far, including the improper treatment -incompatible with international laws on the subject- of the victims when they were sentenced to life in prison and confinement for life, respectively, the absence of a periodic review with a view to the possibility of release or parole, and the consequences that their sentences had, allow one to reasonably infer that the mental and moral integrity of the victims’ next of kin were also affected. 316. The consequences were all the more serious in the case of the next of kin of Saúl Cristián Roldán Cajal and Ricardo David Videla Fernández, given the inhumane detention conditions that they endured while incarcerated in the Mendoza Penitentiaries. Particularly striking in the case of Ricardo David Videla Fernández was the lack of proper treatment and, when he died while in the custody of the State, the failure to conduct an effective investigation to determine what had happened. Similarly, the next of kin of Claudio David Núñez and Lucas Matías Mendoza were affected by the treatment they received; the latter’s loss of sight, and the failure to properly investigate any of these facts. 317. The Commission therefore concludes that the Argentine State violated the right to have one’s mental and moral integrity respected, protected under Article 5(1) of the American Convention in relation to Article 1(1) thereof, to the detriment of the next of kin of César Alberto Mendoza, Claudio David Núñez, Lucas Matías Mendoza, Saúl Cristián Roldán Cajal and Ricardo David Videla Fernández. VI. CONCLUSIONS 318. Based on the observations set forth in this report, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights concludes that the Argentine State violated: a.

The right protected under Article 8(2)(h) of the American Convention, in relation to the obligations undertaken in articles 1(1) and 2 thereof, to the detriment of César Alberto Mendoza, Claudio David Núñez, Lucas Matías Mendoza, Saúl Cristián Roldán Cajal and Ricardo David Videla Fernández. c. The rights protected under articles 8(2)(d) and (e) of the American Convention, in relation to the obligations undertaken in Article 1(1) thereof and to the detriment of César Alberto Mendoza and Saúl Cristián Roldán Cajal. d.

The rights protected under articles 5(1), 5(2) and 19 of the American Convention, in relation to the obligations undertaken in Article 1(1) thereof, to the detriment of Lucas Matías Mendoza. g. The rights protected in articles 5(1), 5(2), 8(1) and 25(1) of the American Convention, in relation to the obligations undertaken in Article 1(1) thereof, to the detriment of Lucas Matías Mendoza and Claudio David Núñez. Also, the obligations contained in articles 1, 6 and 8 of the Inter-American Convention to Prevent and Punish Torture.
