4 tolerating acts of torture upon prisoners. Additionally, a number of mutinies led to the death of several inmates, although the exact number of casualties is unknown because the State has not furnished official information in that regard. In view of the threat to the life of the beneficiaries, the representatives informed that they requested the Federal Government to take action on the prison system of the state of Rondônia. 9. That the Commission valued the measures adopted by the State, but it pointed out that the action taken so far has not been enough to guarantee the life and physical safety of the inmates. 10. That since the issuance of the last Order of the Court in this matter on September 21, 2005, seven mutinies have taken place at the Urso Branco Prison and, according to the information on the case file, between eight and twenty people would have been murdered. According to the information submitted by the representatives, in as little as six months two major mutinies took place, one in July and the other in December 2007, in which three prisoners were murdered and an uncertain number of inmates, possibly more than fifty, could have been injured. Notwithstanding the fact that there is no conclusive official information about the total number of persons murdered and injured at the prison since the adoption of these measures, the Court deems such events are inconceivable within the framework of the protection owed by the State to the persons under its jurisdiction, and run counter to the provisional measures ordered issued by this Tribunal. In addition to such extremely serious events, which unfortunately have been commonplace in the prison, the representatives in their most recent writings have reported events of torture, which they would have been able to verify by seeing the marks in the prisoners' bodies while interviewing them. The Tribunal deems that the mutinies and deaths under custody evidence the persistence of the extremely serious and urgent situation, and that the recent reports of torture against state agents worsen the imminent risk posed to the life and physical safety of the persons held in custody at Urso Branco. 11. The representatives’ particularly serious report that in such mutinies state agents would allegedly have been involved in the aggressions against the prisoners, owing to which, following such mutinies the then managers of the Urso Branco Prison were removed from office and "prevented from entering the prison" as requested by the General Attorney's Office and ordered by the Judiciary. According to the information provided by the representatives, the Criminal Sentence Execution judge with jurisdiction over the Urso Branco Prison pointed out in its Order of July 25, 2007 that the mutiny of July 9, 2007 would have allegedly been controlled without any death; however, the following events would have taken place when the prisoners were taken to the yard for a cell inspection: the General Manager and the Security Manager [of the] “Urso Branco” [prison] […] were around the yard […]. [W]hen the inmates were already completely under control […], in the yard, naked, lying down or looking for a place [on the floor] to lie down, they were shot several times, with both anti-mutiny ammunition and lethal ammunition. […] This fatal and brutal act of violence led to the death of an inmate who was lying on the yard floor and was shot, probably by the Security Manager [...]. The shots in the back and on the soles of the prisoners’ feet [allegedly received by some prisoners on the same occasion] can only lead one to believe in and verify the hypothesis discussed above.
