Said proceedings and the convictions resulting therefrom affected the personal
lifestyle of her husband since his colleagues and friends from the days at Navy
School criticized him for having written the book. Her husband could not trust
anyone. In a given occasion, they received an “invitation” for her husband to
be hospitalized at the Naval Hospital of Punta Arenas “to avoid being hounded
by journalists.” They rejected the “invitation” since her husband had been
released from his arrest the previous day and it was “an evident attempt to get
rid of him.”
Temporary detention pending trial was imposed upon her husband in one of
these proceedings; therefore, “she was on her own with their 3 children aged
9, 8 and 6.” She had to continue working to be able to cover their home
expenses, since her husband’s “salary was withheld.” Their children were also
deeply affected by having their father arrested without warning. “[T]hey
arrived at their home in vans carrying machine guns.” That happened even
after leaving the naval post.
During the proceedings against her husband, she had to rent a family residence
outside the naval post since, while her husband was under arrest, she was told
“on Tuesday that she had to move out from their naval residence on Friday that
same week.”
Once judicial proceedings were initiated against her husband, they were denied
access to naval premises. Once “she was kicked out” together with her children
when she was trying to receive assistance at the Naval Hospital in Punta
Arenas. Several years afterwards, she lost an employment opportunity as she
was denied access to naval museums.

Fernando Alejandro Palamara-Stewart, son of the alleged victim
He was born to Humberto Palamara-Iribarne and Anne Stewart-Orlandini. In
1993, he was 9 years old when one of his father’s colleagues “arrived” at night
and took away the books they had at home in the “living room.” They “got
into” their home computer and then arrested his father. He ignores whether
they had an arrest warrant.
In 1993, they lived in a naval community in Punta Arenas, where he played
with the “sons of naval officers.” After judicial proceedings were initiated
against his father, their neighbors “no longer hanged around” with them and
said his father was “a traitor.” He was deeply affected by criticism against his
father. He “cannot forget” when […] his father “was arrested” and they arrived
at their place “carrying machine guns, as if his father were a terrorist.” He
ignored why his father was arrested and the reason why “they all went mad”
after he wrote a book.
The relationship with his father was hampered since the latter “was stressed”
due to the situation he had to endure.
