b) “The State’s comments regarding the alleged obstruction of the police work for
failing to appear at a meeting of which [Mr. Galdámez] was not informed
demonstrates bad faith and contributes nothing toward effectively protecting the
beneficiary and his family;”
c) On January 19, 2011, another meeting was held to “again reach an agreement on
the measures of protection to the benefit of Mr. José Luís Galdámez and his
family.” Mr. Galdámez, his representatives, and State officials with the Human
Rights Unit of the Secretariat of Security, the National Police of Honduras, and the
National Office of Criminal Investigation participated in the meeting. During the
meeting, Mr. Galdámez “emphasized the failure to execute the security measures
that had been agreed upon in the meeting held on September 24, 2010, [and]
reiterated the need for funds to pay for private security.” State authorities
“proposed the appointment of a police official at his house […] for the protection
of […] Wendy Waleska Orellana and Mr. Galdámez's children from 6:00 to 22:00,
seven days a week, as well as the implementation of the patrols previously agreed
upon and the setting up of a direct telephone line to the Chief of Police of District
1-3 and District 1-2.” Mr. Galdámez and his representatives accepted these
proposals pending a response from the Secretary of Security regarding the hiring
of private security;
d)
At present “a police officer is stationed in front of [the] house […] of [Mr.
Galdámez]” and a “patrol car appears in the morning whose purpose is to escort
the beneficiary from his house to work; however, there is a lack of compliance
regarding the nighttime patrol, as it has been carried out only sporadically.” The
effective implementation of this patrol during “the evening hours is vital to
protecting Mr. Galdámez’ life and personal integrity, as it is a time when the risk
faced by the beneficiary increases; [indeed,] the attack suffered by the
beneficiary on September 14 took place late at night”; and
e) “The progress in the investigation into the facts that gave rise to the measures […]
is perhaps the factor that most clearly allows for an effective evaluation of the risk
to which the beneficiaries of the precautionary measures are subjected.” Though
the State described some of the steps taken to investigate the “attack suffered by
Mr. Galdámez on September 14, 2010, they do not indicate the existence of any
progress toward establishing the identities of those responsible; thus, the risk of
the beneficiaries suffering other incidents impacting their lives and personal
integrity is permanent and serious.” The report submitted by the State “does not
evaluate the particularities of the events, nor of the circumstances and the
context of risk in which Mr. Galdámez and his family find themselves.”
