33 Daniel Tibi’s symptoms from the period of detention, characterized by acute stress, gradually diminished. He currently still has frequent mood changes, problems such as irritability and lack of control of situations of aggressiveness that he previously faced in daily life. These situations are part of a lasting personality change, which is a type of mental health problem that is part of the “International Classification of Diseases.” e) Expert opinion of Ana Deutsch, a psychologist She interviewed Daniel Tibi and Beatrice Baruet in Paris, France, and in San José, Costa Rica. She also interviewed Mrs. Baruet’s daughters, Sarah and Jeanne Camila, and she met Lisianne Judith Tibi. Mr. Tibi suffered an unlawful and arbitrary arrest and a detention that went on for more than two years, during which he was beaten, tortured, and kept in inhuman living conditions, despite the fact that he was known to be innocent. He did not have access to an adequate legal proceeding to defend himself and obtain his release. All these actions were contrary to logic, to common sense, and they are in themselves psychotogenic. The psychological symptoms identified in Daniel Tibi are consistent with the effects caused by torture. Mr. Tibi did not have these psychopathies before the events, which can lead to the conclusion that they originated in the incarceration conditions that he was subjected to. Mt.

During this period, the most difficult moments were those prior to the birth of Lisianne, their daughter, and the birth itself. On the other hand, Mrs. Baruet was worried about providing sustenance to her children and supporting Mr. Tibi. She was affected by Daniel Tibi’s personality changes and by the disintegration of the family as a consequence of the events. She also suffered due to the fact that they had to leave Ecuador, where she had planned to stay for life. When she returned to France, she underwent psychiatric treatment for five months due to the deep depression that she suffered. She requested a leave of absence from her job, and did not work for seven months.
