12 9. Francisco Moncada, the father of Francisco Antonio Moncada Gutiérrez. Francisco Antonio Moncada Gutiérrez died at the age of eight. At the time of his death, he was in third grade of basic education and being a minor he did not contribute material goods to the family. His death did not affect the financial situation of the family, but the latter would have improved in the future, because Francisco Antonio was a very intelligent and studious boy. The witness covered burial costs. COFAVIC covered all expenses in connection with the search for justice. The day of the facts, he took his wounded child to several hospitals but none would receive him. Since he did not receive adequate assistance, the child suffered much in his agony and he cannot forget this. The witness has received no psychological treatment. He and the child’s mother moved to another house, and afterwards they divorced due to the death of their child. His ex-wife Alicia Gutiérrez suffered very much, to the point that no one can mention the boy to her, nor can she attend the COFAVIC meetings; for this reason, neither he nor their daughters talk to her about the boy. His ex-wife has not gone to a psychologist because she has denied herself many things, she isolates herself and suffers in silence. Since the facts, he and his daughters have gradually gotten better. It also pains them that justice has not been served by the authorities. After a long time, he has accepted what happened. For thirteen years he has lived with permanent uncertainty regarding establishment of responsibility for the homicide. 10. Ingrid Ortega Zapata, a sister of Héctor Daniel Ortega Zapata.

He had worked as a mason since he was nineteen. At the time of the event he earned minimum wage. The witness covered all expenses pertaining to the vigil, which she completed with what the neighbors gave. COFAVIC covered the costs of seeking justice, except for transportation costs to Caracas, which were due to the fact that the family lives in another State. The witness attempted to pick the victim up from the street where he was lying, while the policemen were shooting, but they did not let her by to help her brother. At the hospital, she heard of Héctor Daniel’s death. Other sisters of the victim who studied had to begin to work. The witness did not get a promotion at work, because she had trouble concentrating. She and her son, whose pregnancy was in the sixth month at the time of the facts, have received psychological treatment, for which she has required medicine, paid for by herself. Her son is hyper kinetic and therefore has had to receive counseling by an educational psychologist. She filed the complaint regarding Héctor Daniel’s death and took a number of steps to this end. The victim’s mother, Ligia Zapata, who was in charge of the children’s education, has aged considerably since the event. The witness has been traumatized by
