crime”; b) Course on “Prevention of Torture”; c) Course for the Attorney General’s Office of the
state of Mexico. Training Course Report No. 13 of the IACHR, Case 13.333. Merits Report, Daniel
García Rodríguez and Reyes Alpízar Ortiz; d) Courses on the “American Convention on Human
Rights”, “Right to Equality and Dignified Treatment” and “Charter on the Rights of Detainees”; e)
Course on the “Istanbul Protocol” and “Human Rights and the Prison System”; and f) Annual
Training Program of the FGJEM. In view of the foregoing, the State considered that it has complied
with the recommendation of the Inter-American Commission, and expressed its willingness to
continue with the aforementioned training courses for officials of the Deputy Prosecutor’s Office of
Tlalnepantla.
306. The Court appreciates the State’s comments regarding the training it is currently
implementing and its willingness to continue with the aforementioned training courses for the
officials of the Deputy Prosecutor’s Office of Tlalnepantla. Nevertheless, given the nature of the
facts that gave rise to the human rights violations established in the instant case, this Court orders
the State to include in the Annual Training Program of the FGJEM, within one year, training courses
on the absolute prohibition of torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment in the
investigation of all crimes. This training should be allocated the respective budget.
D. Measure of satisfaction
307. The representatives requested that the State be ordered to publish “the summary of the
judgment handed down in the instant case in the Official Gazette and in another newspaper with
national circulation. They also requested that it publish the judgment in its entirety, for at least
one year, on an appropriate official website of the State, taking into account the content of the
publication ordered.” The Commission did not refer to this measure of reparation.
308. The State indicated that in the event that the Court should issue a judgment, it “undertakes
[…] to take the necessary steps to publish and disseminate it.” The Court also notes that the
Memorandum of Understanding stipulates that the State agrees to publish the summary of the
Merits Report in two newspapers with national circulation, and to publish the full document on the
websites of the ministries proposed by the representatives.”
309. Therefore, the Court orders, as it has done in other cases, 280 that the State publish, within
six months from notification of this judgment, in a legible and adequate font size: a) the official
summary of this judgment prepared by the Court, once, in the Official Gazette; b) the official
summary of this judgment prepared by the Court, once, in a newspaper with wide national
circulation, and c) this judgment in its entirety, available for one year on an official website of the
Government of the state of Mexico, in a manner accessible to the public and from the home page
of the website. The State shall immediately inform this Court once it has made each of the
publications ordered, regardless of the one-year term for submitting its first report as provided for
in the nineteenth operative paragraph of this judgment.
E. Measures of rehabilitation
310. The Commission requested that the Court order “measures of rehabilitation with physical
or mental health care for the victims in the case.” The representatives requested that the State
be ordered to provide “specialized medical treatment and psychosocial assistance to the family
members of García Rodríguez and Reyes Alpízar, taking into account the individual conditions of
each of the victims and their particular ailments.” They also specified that such assistance “should
be provided for as long as necessary and should include the cost of any medications that are part
