that would have contributed to the family’s safety have been eliminated. Regarding the safety of María Elena Soler, the representatives indicated that the State had informed them that the interview to assess her level of risk had been conducted; however, it was only on April 5, 2011, that they heard that the result was extremely high and, to date, they have had no information on the specific protective measures implemented to her benefit. They observed that with the issuing of Decree 1740, the transportation aid that ensured the safety of their movements was eliminated. Regarding the protection plan for Wilson Gutiérrez, they stated that, in general, the plan has had a positive effect. However, they considered that it was incomplete, because to date the second member of the bodyguard team has not been appointed. They also noted that the plan was insufficient in view of “the insecure situation of other members of the family.” Regarding the protective measures taken in Mr. Gutiérrez Soler’s residence, they indicated that the National Police had made an assessment of the security of the place over a year ago, but no measures of protection had been implemented as yet. 12. Regarding alleged new facts, the representatives stated that, on several occasions in November 2010, individuals identifying themselves as members of the National Police came to the residential complex where Wilson Gutiérrez Soler lives in order to conduct a “search.” The representatives indicated that it was strange that even though these individuals had identified themselves, they entered several apartments located in the same building and repeated this operation on November 6, 7, 8 and 13, 2010, between approximately 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. The representatives also stated that those who live in the building indicated that at about 8 p.m. on November 12, two individuals came to the residential complex and identified themselves as employees of the Bogotá Telephone Company; the inhabitants decided to call the company and were told that no one had been sent to carry out repairs in that place or at that time. The representatives considered that these facts could compromise the safety of Wilson Gutiérrez Soler and some members of his family. 13. The Commission took note of the information forwarded by the State; however, in its last brief (supra Having Seen 6), it indicated that “the information provided concerning the specific measures in effect is very brief and does not correspond to the nature of the situation.” In this regard, it awaited updated information on the effective implementation of the measures of protection to the benefit of Wilson Gutiérrez Soler and his immediate family, particularly as regards the security measures in his residence. b) Information on the beneficiaries who live outside Colombia. 14. Initially, the State provided information on some protective measures adopted to the benefit of Ricardo Gutiérrez Soler during his temporary entries into Colombia. Subsequently, in most of its reports, the State indicated that it had not received any information from the representatives on events that could endanger the life and personal integrity of the beneficiaries who live outside Colombia, or any request to implement protective measures to their benefit. According to recent information provided by the State, during a meeting with Wilson Gutiérrez Soler and his representatives, Mr. Gutiérrez Soler indicated that the beneficiaries “were considering returning to Colombia, and would undertake to inform the State promptly once he knew the return date of any of them.” 15. In the brief of August 28, 2009 (supra Having Seen 5), the representatives advised the Court that they would “provide information on the way in which the provisional measures concerning the beneficiaries who are outside the country will be implemented when the corresponding agreements are reached with the Colombian State.” 16. The Commission recalled that in its last order (supra Having Seen 3), the Court had indicated that it “assume[d] [that the State’s] willingness to provide protection to the beneficiaries include[d] each and every one of them, in the event that they return to 5
