14 At the hospital that day there was a physician’s strike and they had to wait until they were helped. The doctor who examined her daughter told them it was not yet time for her to give birth and that she should go home. Miguel went home with his sister Haydeé. She then went with her daughter Lucy to the Police station at La Perla, where they did not allow them to enter, stating that none of the persons they sought were there. On their way home she looked for the man who had identified himself that morning as a friend of Emilio’s and who had gone looking for him at their home. The man asked for her husband, to which she replied that he was working on a ship and that there was no one else in the family. The man took her and her daughter Lucy back to the hospital where they had been that morning with her daughter Haydeé, but this time they did not enter the emergency room but rather a room where her sons’ bodies were.

They wrote down everything they said, and since they did not know what to do, they left that place. Finally, the witness stated that the family never received psychological counseling, instead they “have always suffered blows.” d. Testimony of Ricardo Samuel Gómez Quispe, father of the alleged victims He is a ship mechanic by profession, and at the time, because he had been dismissed from the navy’s industrial service, he had a temporary job where his son Rafael was helping him. The week of the events, his son’s work had ended, for which reason he was at home with his younger brothers. On June 21, 1991 he was at sea conducting a test, and he only returned home at five that afternoon. When he arrived, his wife was very anguished because their sons had been detained, beaten, trampled by the police, and put in the trunk of a car. The firm where he worked sent a van in which he went, together with a neighbor, to the hospital where his sons’ bodies were. His sons, aged 14 and 17, were cruelly tortured and murdered. Rafael’s body had a mark that said “NN [unidentified], 27 years old”, and it was full of dirt,
