6 Nº 94/03 (supra paras. 25 and 26). The Commission granted the extension requested, the last of them until August 9, 2004. 29. On February 6 and March 7, 2004 the petitioners presented to communication to the Commission, in which they stated their interest in the forwarding of the case to the Court by the Commission (supra para. 27). 30. On March 7, 2004 Mrs. Mónica Feria Tinta presented a brief and its appendixes, through which she forwarded the information requested by the Commission in its communication of January 9, 2004 (supra para. 27). Likewise, she observed, inter alia, that “the facts were planned as a massacre[…]”, that information was given to the Commission “on the type of torture inflicted on the prisoners during and after the massacre,” and she “made emphasis on the physical violations perpetrated against injured women at the hospitals.” Mrs. Feria Tinta indicated that “[t]he lack of reference to th[ose] horrendous facts in the Commission’s report did not s[how] the magnitude and horror of the facts lived by the prisoners.” Likewise, Mrs. Mónica Feria Tinta expressed, inter alia, that “[they] consider[ed] as part of the object of th[at] petition not only the facts occurred from May 6 [through] 9, 1992,” but also “the terrible and inhuman prison regimen to which […] [the inmates] were submitted with the intent of destroying them as individuals,” regarding which she had presented information to the Commission. Similarly, Mrs. Feria Tinta pointed out that “[t]he scope of the Commission’s report […] did not reflect that those facts [were] part of the violations committed by the State.” 31. On August 5, 2004 the State forwarded a report to the Commission in response to the recommendations of the Report on Merits Nº 94/03 (supra paras. 25, 26, and 28). The appendixes were presented on August 24, 2004. 32. On August 13, 2004, “before the lack of a satisfactory implementation of the recommendations included in report 94/03” (supra para. 25), the Commission decided to submit the present case to the jurisdiction of the Court.

Ariel Dulitzky, Pedro Díaz, Juan Pablo Albán, and Víctor Madrigal as legal advisors. 34. On October 15, 2004 the Secretariat of the Court (hereinafter “the Secretariat”), following the instructions of the President of the Court, asked the Commission to coordinate with the alleged victims and their next of kin so they would appoint, as soon as possible, a common intervener of the representatives, in order to proceed to notify the application, pursuant to that stated in Article 23(2) of the Rules of Procedure of the Tribunal. Likewise, it ruled that the Commission “indicate[…] who, in [its] opinion[, …] should be considered the common intervener that [would] represent the alleged victims” in the proceedings before the Court.
