The brief of March 3, 2011 and the annexes thereto, by which the Inter-American Commission filed a request for the broadening of these provisional measures to the benefit of 10 relatives of beneficiary Maria del Socorro Mosquero Londoño. 5. The alleged facts on which the Inter-American Commission’s request for broadening is based: a) On July 29, 2010, Ms. Maria del Socorro Mosquera was the victim of an act of harassment at the hands of a young man dressed as civilian whom the defender had seen occasionally at different locations in Comuna XIII. b) On November 3, 2010, the child Lubin Alfonso, age 14, and Marlon Daniel Herrera Mosquera, grandson and son, respectively, of beneficiary Maria del Socorro Mosquera, were beaten and threatened by police officers in the neighborhood called Las Independencias III. According to the complaint on the incident filed with the Attorney General’s Office by Lubin Alfonso, four police officers approached him and kicked and punched him with a metal object. The police officers also beat Marlon Daniel Herrera Mosquera, the minor’s uncle, when he approached. When Lubin Alfonso tried to run away, the police officers shot at him and killed a nearby dog. When the police officer at the permanent security post set up for beneficiary Mery Naranjo appeared, “the aggressor police officers stood down.” In the complaint filed by Lubin Alfonso with the authorities over these incidents, he said that the police officers told him that they were going to "legalize him", which worried him and which he understood to mean "pass him off as a positive.” In the complaint, Lubin Alfonso indicated that “this situation [was] the result of [his] grandmother’s status as a community leader […]”, referring to the work of beneficiary María del Socorro Mosquera; c) On January 21, 2011, Hilda Milena Villa Mosquera, daughter of Maria del Socorro Mosquera and mother of Lubin Alfonso, was the victim of verbal and physical attacks at the hands of officers of the National Police when they tried to search her and she refused to be searched by men; d) On February 1, 2011, Lubin Alfonso Villa Mosquera was shot and immediately died under circumstances there were not clear to the representatives or the child’s relatives. e) On the same day of the murder of Lubin Alfonso, the children of Maria del Socorro Mosquera, accompanied by two human rights defenders with the Grupo Interdisciplinario (GIDH) – the representatives in this matter - were subjected to an aggressive police search. Moreover, they indicated that a photograph was taken of the vehicle they were driving and that the authorities classified it as “suspicious,” and f) On February 10, 2011, Lubin Arjadi Mosquera, son of beneficiary Maria del Socorro Mosquera, was verbally assaulted, threatened and intimidated with a gun by officers of the National Police. 2
