her nephew José Herminio García, 61 16, her husband Julio Chavarría Banegas, 62 and her nephew Marlon García Barahona, 63 11. 57. Irma Deras García told how a large number of armed soldiers entered the home at that time and... “they shoved me to one side. I was in my nightgown, they left me on the sidewalk outside the house and went in, I heard how they took my whole family, they took Consuelo Deras, who was disabled, she had a humpback […] I was wearing a bathrobe and I told them, let me get out of these clothes, […] and one of them said, I will go with you, and I went up the stairs, and because I was in my nightgown, they fondled me.” 64 58. Afterward they were all taken on foot to the police station. That same night, the family business that sold cement blocks and tiles was raided; Domingo Deras was there and they apprehended him. 59. When Héctor García 65 went to the home of the Deras García family to tell them that his father had been caught, he was detained and taken with the rest of the family to the police station which was being guarded by some 25 “cobra agents,” all of them armed with Galil and M-16 assault rifles. They took them to a cell and made them all stand with their faces pressed against the wall. They were together for a few moments at first, but then they took Irma Deras García out of the cell, took photographs and fingerprints, and then blindfolded her and questioned her about her participation in a guerrilla cell. When she denied the charges, they beat her around the face and another agent said, “pull out her tongue[;] she is the sister of the dead communist.” Then they were all blindfolded, tied up and taken to the San Pedro Sula air base, where they were forced into a military airplane and taken to Tegucigalpa. They were hit and kicked the whole time. When Irma Deras was interrogated, she heard the screams of her family members being beaten and frequently being made to stand against the wall and given death threats. 66 60. Domingo Deras, José Herminio García and Consuelo Deras García were released on June 9, 1984. While they were in custody, Consuelo Deras García “had a nervous breakdown because of what was happening to her and the uncertainty of not knowing any of the things they were asking her.” Afterward she passed away.

We went to the airplane blindfolded and handcuffed […] I heard Marlen crying, Sandra crying, and I said I can’t ... they are younger, I need to set the example [, …] in the airplane they told me we are going to throw you out, you and the whole family, out into empty space, you will never see your children again.” “They took us to Tegucigalpa, […] they took us to a place, I never found out where we were, and then we were interrogated often, they asked where the guns were, what was the name of our guerrilla cell, that we wanted to blow up the Democracy Bridge, where was the dynamite, we were interrogated so much, we had no water to drink, they didn’t give us any food, and there was a time at around 4:00 a.m. the next day, when they let us rest.” “At one point they tied me, they put a hood over my head and then also they took us out to dig our grave, they said, they gave us a shovel and said, dig the hole, because here you will end up dead.” Statement by Irma Isabel Deras García, supra. 61 62
