problem.” 163 Similarly, Ms. Santodomingo Albericci has testified that, when they released
her, they told her; “you understand [that] you were retained, it never occurred to us to do
anything. They repeatedly mentioned that [they had been] retained, never detained […
and] they apologized profusely.” On November 7, 1985, they were released in the center of
Bogota in a sector known as San Victorino, where they were picked up by a taxi driven by
Marlio Quintero Pastrana, who was a member of the intelligence network of the Charry
Solano Battalion. 164
141. On November 8, Yolanda Santodomingo Albericci and Eduardo Matson Ospino went to
the North Canton offices to obtain the return of their documents, but no one would receive
them on that occasion. The following week they attended a meeting in the offices of the
Ministry of Defense, coordinated by Mr. Matson Ospino and his father through the office of
the Governor of Bolivar. Two generals attended the meeting, apologized for the treatment
they had received, and returned their documents to them. 165
C.4) The other presumed victims of detention and torture
C.4.a) Orlando Quijano 166
142. Orlando Quijano 167 was 31 years of age in 1985. He is a lawyer and, at the time of the
events, he wrote and edited a journal on the jurisprudence of the high courts and was
therefore a frequent visitor to the Palace of Justice. On November 6 he was inside the
Palace of Justice, specifically in the Secretariat of the Criminal Chamber. He survived the
events of the taking and retaking of the Palace of Justice. He left the building on November
6, 1985, and was taken to the second floor of the Casa del Florero, where he was
interrogated and presumably subjected to ill-treatment by the security forces. He was then
taken to the North Canton, where he was searched and presumably interrogated and again
subjected to ill-treatment, after which he was taken to the SIJIN, where he remained until
November 8, when he was released. Since the facts relating to this victim are disputed,
they will be examined in Chapter X of this Judgment.
