11 She stated that no one has been tried or punished for these facts, and that she does not trust the Honduran military authorities. b) Testimony of Domitila Vijil Sánchez, sister of the alleged victim Her brother, Juan Humberto, lived in El Salvador, worked for Radio Venceremos, wrote to his mother and talked of Norma, his daughter, whom she met personally. After her brother’s death, she learned that he had another daughter called Breydi. On July 10, 1992, during the night, several soldiers came, captured Juan Humberto and bound his hands, and the stepfather went with them to the detention center. She was then thirteen and lived at home with her parents and her siblings Juan Carlos, Celio and Florinda –all minors-. The following day, Juan Humberto Sánchez was released, but he was detained again that same night by soldiers, who came making a lot of noise and threatening to kill the whole family. They threw her father on the floor and placed a weapon on his back. Her brother, Juan Humberto, asked her mother to open the door so that they would not kill the whole family. Some military climbed the roof, removed the tiles, and others entered, bound Juan Humberto and took him away without providing any explanation. Her mother became ill and was hospitalized in Colomoncagua and her father went to ask father Celso Sánchez in Camasca for advice regarding the steps he should take before the State authorities. Her brother’s body was found on July 21, 1992, the feet and hands bound behind, the nose and tongue severed and the eyes taken out. Her brother-in-law was there when they removed the body. The family was not able to bury her brother because the military had already done so at a very distant place. She added that the military took her father to Tegucigalpa for him to render a statement and they came to visit his house, asking his father where he had buried Juan Humerto’s weapons. Because of what happened to her brother, the family had to move because the neighbors cut their water supply. They were also afraid to render a statement on these facts because the military had threatened to kill the family. However, she pointed out that she rendered testimony on what happened before a judge, and that those responsible for what happened have not been tried or punished, for which reason she does not trust the Honduran authorities. Due to the death of her brother, Juan Humberto Sánchez, her father became ill, for which reason she and her younger brothers dropped out of school to work. Finally, she stated that she lost her job at a drawback industry to come render testimony before the Court. She left her 9-month-old son in the care of her sister Reina Isabel, who also had to stop working to help her. c) Testimony of Leonel Casco Gutiérrez, former coordinator of the legal department of Asociación de Cooperación Técnica Nacional, a human rights advocacy organization in the western region of Honduras.
