32 During the year in which the witness and Juan Montero were separated, he was always attentive to his daughter; he paid for her schooling and helped with her food and clothing. Juan also took his daughter Dina to spend weekends with him at his mother’s house. When Juan’s mother called the witness to tell her what had happened, the witness was very sad and angry. After the disappearance of Juan Montero, the witness could not pay the rent of her apartment, so she asked Juan’s mother to let her live with her for a time and rented a room from her. The witness had to pay all the expenses and her daughter had to change school. Dina Luz was five years of age when her father disappeared. The witness did not want to tell her what had happened to her father immediately; she told her that Juan was traveling. The witness told her daughter what had happened to her father two years later; she showed her documents that had been published in the press. When Dina was about 12 or 13 years of age, the witness tried to talk to her about what had happened to her father, but she asked the witness “not to talk about it.” Dina did not want to talk about the disappearance of her father. Dina is very introverted and became pregnant when she was 15 years of age, owing to the lack of her father, because she sought his affection in another man. The witness has a new companion, with whom she had a daughter who is 11 years of age, Nicole. The witness has seen the difference between her two daughters. For example, Dina generally wears dark-colored clothes, while Nicola is very “happy.” The witness considers that these differences are due to Nicole always having had her father beside her, while Dina lost her father when she was 5 years old. The witness hopes that Juan Montero is still alive. Once, the witness was traveling by bus and saw an indigent person on the street, who she thought was Juan, so she got off the bus thinking she had found him. The witness considers it very important to know the truth about what happened and to have the remains of Juan, if he is dead. The witness considers that justice has not been done with regard to the disappearance of Juan, because the masterminds and perpetrators of his disappearance have not been punished. The witness appeared before the Court to ensure that the State acknowledges what it did, that it punishes the masterminds and perpetrators, and that it apologizes publicly for the facts. The witness considers that the State is responsible for what happened to Juan, because the armed forces are part of the State and have assisted the “paramilitary” movement. The witness was afraid to testify before the Inter-American Court because, in her country, every day many people are harassed and, if someone is against the armed forces, they are harassed. g.
