114 agents, despite the fact that they were injured (supra para. 197(48)). The victim Gaby Balcázar stated that she thought “that this treatment was not even given to animals.” (supra para. 187). This fact is just one more element of the especially gross treatment given to inmates during the “operative” and after it. The expert witness Quiroga described the way in which the injured inmates were transferred to the hospitals as “acts of great cruelty” (supra para. 186). 297. In this same sense, when the inmates that were in “no man’s lands” and in “admissions” of the Criminal Center Castro Castro (supra para. 197(42)) were transferred to other criminal centers or relocated in the same criminal center Castro Castro they suffered new violations to their physical, psychic, and moral integrity, since they were beat more than once, even with blunt objects, on the head, kidneys, and other parts of their bodies (supra para 197(46) and ** 197(48)). As part of these aggressions, a great part of the male inmates were submitted to what expert witness Quiroga describes as the “Dark Alley”, a form of punishment that consists in forcing the detainee to walk through a double line of agents that beat them with blunt elements, such as sticks and metallic or rubber batons, and whoever falls to the floor receives more blows until he reaches the other end of the alley. The expert witness stated that this form of collective punishment, “due to its severity and physical and psychological consequences[, is] consistent with torture.” 298. Among the inmates that were in the conditions describes there were pregnant women. The state agents did not have any consideration regarding their specific condition. Only Mrs. Eva Challco, Sabina Quispe Rojas y Vicenta Genua López were identified before the Court (supra para. 197(57)). The face down position in which they had to remain is especially serious in the case of pregnant women. To witness this treatment towards them caused greater anguish among the other inmates. 299. Likewise, the Court points out the specific case of Mr. Víctor Olivos Peña, who being alive but seriously injured was taken to a hospital morgue, where he was rescued by his mother and a doctor (supra para. 197(45)). 300. The Court considers that the treatments described in the previous paragraphs constituted an inhuman treatment in violation of Article 5 of the American Convention. This breach was worse regarding those inmates who were injured and the women who were pregnant. 3) Treatments received in the health centers to which the inmates were transferred during the attack or once it had concluded 301. It was proven that the inmates transferred to the Police Hospital did not receive adequate medical treatment (supra para. 197(47)). The twenty-fourth Principle for the Protection of All Persons Submitted to Any Form of Detention or Imprisonment states that “[…] any person detained […] will be provided […] medical care and treatment whenever necessary […].”157 This Court has established that “the 157 Cfr.
