assertion. It is also demonstrated that immediately after being apprehended, the detainees were presented to the press as the persons responsible for the Prosegur robbery before they had been prosecuted and convicted. Some of them were not even later indicted by the Public Prosecution Service but released in the course of the investigation. 71. Therefore, the State violated the rights to a fair trial and judicial protection recognized at Articles 8 (1) and 25 (1) of the American Convention, in conjunction with the duty to respect rights set down in Article 1 (1) thereof, to the detriment of all the petitioners in this case.166 Accordingly, the Commission finds that the failure to investigate the allegations of torture and punish those responsible in this case also constitutes a violation of the obligations set forth in Articles 1, 6 and 8 of the Inter-American Convention to Prevent and Punish Torture, as of the time said instrument came into force for the State. V. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 72. Based on the factual and legal considerations contained in this report on merits, the Commission concludes that the Bolivian State is responsible for violation of the right to personal liberty, right to respect for private and family life, right to life, right to humane treatment, rights of the child, and rights to a fair trial and judicial protection recognized at Articles 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 19, and 25 of the American Convention taken in conjunction with the obligations enshrined in Article 1 (1) of that instrument, as well as the duty to prevent violence against women established in Article 7 of the Convention of Belém do Pará and Articles 1, 6 and 8 of the Inter-American Convention to Prevent and Punish Torture, in light of the failure to investigate the allegations of torture and punish those responsible, all of the above to the detriment of the victims identified in this report. 73. Based on the foregoing, THE INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STATE OF BOLIVIA: 1. Provide full reparation for the human rights violations found in the instant report, including both material and nonpecuniary dimensions. The State should adopt measures of economic compensation and satisfaction. 2. Arrange for the victims in this case to receive the necessary physical and mental health care for their rehabilitation, if they so wish and in a manner that meets with their agreement. 3. Initiate a diligent and effective criminal investigation within a reasonable time in order to completely clarify the events, identify all those who bear possible responsibility, and impose the appropriate penalties for the gross human rights violations recognized in this report. As these are gross human rights violations, the State may not invoke the statute of limitations or other grounds for excluding criminal responsibility in order not to implement this recommendation. Furthermore, the acts of torture should be investigated in accordance with the due diligence parameters prescribed herein, including those contained in the Istanbul Protocol, and a gender perspective in the case of the women who were victims of sexual torture.
