19 of kin received adequate psychological or medical care, when they should have received support and treatment for rehabilitation as torture victims. Lucy Gómez Paquiyauri’s situation was extremely severe and dangerous. She was a minor when she was affected by those intolerable facts, suffering the persecution and stigmatization of the family. Furthermore, she was arrested when she was sixteen years old. She was beaten, put into a car –just like her brothers-, blindfolded, and feared that she was going to be murdered. They also threatened her saying that they would throw her from a helicopter or that she would be stripped and beaten. Then, she remained in prison four years; the first part of this time she was in a maximum security prison. The parents of the alleged victims have also undergone a “extreme psychological stress.” No one aided them; however, they were very poor, they courageously filed a complaint happened and due to this they were persecuted. They lived in struggle. situation of even though about what a continuous One aggravating circumstance in this case is the fact that nothing has been done to render justice; quite the contrary, they were persecuted and labeled. Another aggravating circumstance is the fact that the alleged victims were minors, children of fourteen and seventeen. Victims of torture must receive compensation for the suffering and pain, taking into account the special nature of the trauma. Article 41 of the United Nations Convention against Torture explains how to rehabilitate and help torture victims, and this is a duty of the States. It is important for impunity not to continue prevailing, for those who commit torture to be punished. It is impossible to attain rehabilitation of the victims while there is impunity. On the other hand, due to the stigmatization suffered, the State must provide an explanation and clarify that it was not the truth and that the children were not terrorists. This would also mean much for the family to be safer, both themselves and Rafael’s daughter. It would be important to return to the family the two children who are still in prison and whom they have not seen for a long time; who were tried by faceless judges and were kept in custody without a trial for a long time. Finally, there is a need for medical and psychological rehabilitation of the next of kin of the alleged victims. Financial compensation must cover work capacities and lost earnings. The alleged victims were young and intelligent and, in fact, they already worked and had many responsibilities within the family. They would have had good jobs and earned a lot of money. i.
