-10that the Prosecutor’s Office asked the court to conduct. However, there is no information on whether this procedure was implemented.” “On February 24, 2006, the victims, by means of a private prosecution, incorporated into the criminal proceedings information from newspaper articles showing that the operation in which the Serrano Cruz sisters disappeared was conducted in June 1982”; they also asked that certain information should be requested and that several individuals should be summoned to testify. The Chalatenango Trial Court admitted the request and sent an official communication to the Joint Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces and to the Ministry of Defense. “On March 28, 2006, the Ministry of Defense forwarded to the court […] the names of the Minister of Defense and the Joint Chief of Staff in 1982, as well as the names of the Head of the Air Force and of the Atlacatl Battalion […]. The court ordered that another communication should be sent to the Ministry […] requesting the names of ‘the commanders who were in charge or in command of the Fourth Infantry Brigade and the Belloso Battalion.’” The Ministry forwarded the information requested with regard to the commanders. “However, the court did not insist in requiring information on the officers who were members of the armed units that took part in the operation in which the Serrano sisters disappeared. On May 9, 2006, the [said criminal] court ordered the Prosecutor General’s Office to make inquiries about the addresses of the military leaders, within one month, so that they could be summoned to testify. [… T]he criminal proceedings are waiting for the Prosecutor General’s Office to provide the information requested by the court.” Regarding the adjustment of the definition of the crime of forced disappearance, the State has not adopted any measure in this respect. The State has not instituted any measure to investigate, identify and punish all the officials who unduly hindered, deviated or delayed the investigations. In this regard, “instead of promoting an inquiry into the prosecutor in charge of the investigations who devoted himself to trying to prove the inexistence of the victims so as to strengthen the State’s defense in the international proceedings, the said prosecutor has been incorporated into the Human Rights Unit of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the entity that has assumed the execution of the measures of reparation” ordered by the Court. 6.
