He added that Mr. Lopez "was very nervous and always in an agitated state while handcuffed in the holding cells (...) he was in a bad way at that moment and looked agitated.” He said that Mr. Lopez was in the holding cells handcuffed at all times, and "he came and went on the 19th and 20th.” He said: "I did not see Lopez hurt or wounded, I can testify to that all the same; but you're going to hear the banging, but I didn't hear anything like that; he was fine when he came in and the same when he left. He walked in fine and left the same way. Blindfolded with packing tape or something like that." He claimed that he did not "see him being beaten but if [he] did see him in the holding cells in handcuffs; he was not alright.” Rafael Sosa Carmona (police officer at the time):18 He said that he was ordered to report to the 11th Police Precinct along with other officers, and upon arrival he was asked to hand over his weapons, remove his shoes and shirt, and kneel down, a newspaper was tied to them with packing tape; he said that you could hear a cry for help from the first officer to enter "the torture room."

I was summoned to see some inmates who were at that unit, at the Special Forces Headquarters, it must have been because I do not remember going to the 11th Precinct. He stated: "I have no record of having conducted any medical examination, I simply accompanied the judge on duty, as I was on duty. He said that he did not remember any dates. Carlos Antonio Garrigoza (medical examiner at the time):21 He said that he examined someone at the Special Forces Headquarters, who may have been Mr. López. Annex 3, Judgment S.D.
