She observed that “the mental and physical health of the people was severely harmed (…) between the time of the massacre and up to the present, health has been almost entirely neglected (…) because of the events that individuals survived, such as physical torture, sexual torture, forced displacement to the mountains and psychosomatic illnesses.”116 94. She concluded that “the absence of any State response over all these years has revictimized the victims and their family members, who suffer exclusion, discrimination, stigmatization, and labeling. To make matters worse, they have had to invest their time in demonstrating the truth about what happened, with the result that the burden of proof has been reversed and has fallen upon the victims, preventing them from embarking upon a new life plan. Their family and community life has suffered as a result.” 117 2.2. Other events that occurred in the village of Chichupac and neighboring communities between 1981 and 1986 111 Annex 12.
