criminal center by specialized personnel of the National Police Force, in which there
are 10 weapons (2 sub-machine guns, 4 revolvers, 1 rifle and 3 guns), 11 grenades,
and 24 “Russian cheese” home explosive devices. The prosecutor signed said
report.77

Once the majority of the surviving inmates exited the pavilions they
were forced to remain in the areas of the criminal center called “no man’s land” and
“admissions”, lying face down on the ground, in ventral cubitus position, without a
coat, outdoors, being allowed to get up only to go to the bathroom, and they were
object of constant beatings and aggressions. Those who were in these conditions for
several days, only received bread and water on an irregular basis in the mornings
and a watery soup, and they were guarded by armed security agents and with dogs,
and if anyone moved or complained said agents would stand on top of the body of
the survivor and insulted them. Among this group there were people that were
injured78 and women who were pregnant, who were also forced to lie face down, the
same as the other inmates. Many remained in these conditions until May 22, 1992
(infra para. 197(46)).79
