81 committed against the victim and punish them accordingly. They indicated that “once the investigation is initiated, the victim shall have full access and capacity to act in all the procedural stages according to the domestic law and the American Convention and that the State should guarantee him and all the people involved in the investigations, effective protection.” In addition, they requested that the results of the investigations be publicly and broadly disseminated, so that the Panamanian society learns about them. Finally, they emphasized the need for Mr. Vélez Loor to obtain justice so as to "condemn what happened in Panama” in order to “restore his honor and dignity.” 269. Moreover, the State informed that the Public Prosecutor’s Office had initiated a criminal investigation in order to determine the responsibilities for the facts mentioned in this case. Regarding the other violations, the State pointed out that the obligation to adopt measures like these is not possible and objected to such request, given “that these measures could be ordered only when it has been effectively determined that the facts protected by the Convention had been violated.” 270. Taking into account that as of July 10, 2009 a summary investigation into the crime against liberty to the detriment of Mr. Vélez Loor is being conducted (supra paras. 242 and 245), as well as the jurisprudence of this Tribunal305, the Court orders the State to effectively continue and conduct with the most diligence and within the most reasonable term the criminal investigation initiated for the facts mentioned by Mr. Vélez Loor. To that end, the State must seriously adopt all measures necessary to identify, prosecute and, if applicable, punish all the perpetrators and participants of the facts giving rise to the violations committed against Mr. Vélez Loor, for the criminal and other effects that may arise from the investigation into the facts. For the investigation into the allegations of torture, the competent authorities must take into consideration the international standards for documentation and for the construction of forensic evidence proving the commission of torture acts and, in particular, the Manual on Effective Investigation and Documentation of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhumane or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (“Istanbul Protocol”).306 4. Guarantees of Non-Repetition a) To adopt measures to guarantee the separation of inmates imprisoned due to immigration reasons from those imprisoned for criminal offenses. 271. The Commission did not make reference to this measure. The representatives pointed out that, nowadays, the Panamanian legislation provides that undocumented migrants who are detained shall be placed in “short-stay preventive shelters.” However, such shelters only exist in Panama City and therefore, irregular migrants who are arrested in other regions shall be sent to penitentiary centers together with accused and convicted inmates by criminal offenses. Consequently, they requested the Court to order the Panamanian State to adopt effective measures to guarantee people detained for suspected immigration violations to be placed in centers intended for them, in which their needs are adequately satisfied. The State made reference to the inauguration of the shelters of the National Office of Immigration and their characteristics and considered it was important to highlight that, in these shelters, only migrants are housed. 305 Cf.
