112 gases, splinters, grenades, bombs, and the falling of debris during the four days the attack lasted. Regarding the type of injuries suffered by the inmates, the expert witness Peerwani stated that they were “strange wounds”, among which there were “chafing made with firearms, injuries on their feet, legs, extremities, and other uncommon angles,” as well as on their backs and extremities. In the expert’s opinion, this type of injuries put in evidence that the shots were fired randomly, in an arbitrary manner, reason for which the inmates made an effort to dodge the bursts directed at them (supra para. 187). 285. All the inmates faced additional conditions of infliction during those four days, such as the deprivation of food, water, electricity, and medical attention. 286. In his expert opinion, the expert witness Deutsch pointed out that the inmates experimented “intense psychological and emotional suffering due to the fact that the injured did not receive attention and […] they had to witness [said] situation helplessly.” (supra para. 186) 287. According to the expert opinions offered in these proceedings and the statements presented, the male and female inmates that lived the attack in May 1992 still suffer serious psychological consequences.

The inmates that were located in that pavilion, including the ones that were pregnant, were forced to run from the attack directed to pavilion 4B. This transfer was especially dangerous due to the aforementioned conditions of the attack; the inmates suffered various injuries. A piece of information that shows the extreme conditions in which the attack was carried out was that the prisoners had to crawl on the ground, and climb over dead bodies, in order to avoid being hit by the bullets. This circumstance was especially serious in the case of the women who were pregnant who had to crawl over their stomach. 291. These characteristics of the attack lived by the inmates, who witnessed the death of their prison mates and saw injured pregnant women crawling on the floor, generated, as was described by the witness Gaby Balcázar, “a climate of despair among the women,” in such a way that they felt they were going to die. In the same sense, the expert witness Deitsch concluded that during the four days of the attack “[t]he inmates remained with the fear that they were going to die[, which] caused an intense psychological and emotional suffering.” 292.
