97(133) The relatives who would visit the alleged victim at the penitentiary were
subjected to humiliating treatment, for the mere fact of being relatives of a person
charged with the crime of terrorism.133
97(134) The physical, psychological, and emotional condition of Urcesino RamírezRojas’ son and siblings was impaired as a result of having a next of kin arrested,
accused, and prosecuted for the crime of terrorism. At the time he was arrested,
Urcesino Ramírez-Rojas provided economic and moral support to his family.134
97(135) Filomena Ramírez-Rojas, a sister of Urcesino Ramírez-Rojas, would undergo a
personal search which violated her privacy when entering the penitentiary to visit her
brother, and was stigmatized for having a brother accused of committing acts of
terrorism. As a result of these events and the arrest of her brother, the physical and
psychological health of Filomena Ramírez-Rojas deteriorated, and she suffered from
nervous problems and insomnia. Filomena Ramírez-Rojas was entrusted with the care
and support of Urcesino Ramírez-Rojas’ son.135
97(136) Marcelina Ramírez-Rojas, also a sister of Urcesino Ramírez-Rojas, was
arrested when she went to the penitentiary to take her brother, Urcesino RamírezRojas, a green coat, under the allegation that they were planning his escape, which
made his next of kin fearful of visiting him.136
