62 and shouting, they responded with insults and kicks […]”; 287 (r) they place an object “like a piece of wood” in her anus; 288 (s) she felt that she had left her body and gone beyond the limits of pain, 289 and (t) she asked them to kill her. 290 160. The Court also notes that, in the above-mentioned private statement of September 2009 (supra para. 157), Ms. Espinoza Gonzáles indicated that “[i]n the DINCOTE […] at first she was incommunicado, and later placed with other female detainees.” 291 161. Regarding the statements made by Ms. Espinoza, the Court considers that, the main circumstances are consistent in all of them. Also, with regard to the acts described by the presumed victim, the Court observes that, in its final report, the CVR determined that, at the time of the facts, there was a consistent pattern to the torture inflicted by police agents: (i) physical exhaustion of the victims, obliging them to remain on foot or in uncomfortable positions for extended periods; (ii) deprivation of sight during their confinement, which resulted in temporal and spatial disorientation, as well as feelings of insecurity; (iii) insults and threats against the victim, their family members or other people close to them, and (iv) forced nudity. In addition, according to the CVR, the most usual means of physical torture were “punches and kicks to sensitive parts of the body, such as the abdomen, face and genitals. At time, blunt objects were used, such as broom handles, canes, rubber truncheons (to avoid leaving marks), and rifle butts. Many of the blows left scars, but other healed without leaving permanent evidence. The foregoing were accompanied by or preceded by other more sophisticated methods of torture.” The CVR also referred to asphyxia as a method of torture that was used and, as one of the ways it was inflicted, submersion several times in a bath in liquid mixed with toxic substances such as detergent, bleach, kerosene, petrol, and water mixed with excrement and urine. Another torture technique consisted in hanging and stretching which resulted in severe pain in the muscles and articulations. The most common method was to tie the victims by the hands and then suspend them for long periods of time, which caused intense pain and terrible numbness in the victim, and which was generally accompanied by beatings, electric shocks and threats. Also, men and women were raped as another form of torture. 292 The Court has already referred to the types of sexual violence and rape perpetrated by members of the State’s security forces at that time (supra paras. 62 to 66). In the Court’s opinion, it is evident that the acts described by Ms. Espinoza Gonzáles in her statements accord with this pattern described by the CVR. B.2.3.
