measures as may be required to protect the rights to life and humane treatment of
Messrs. Salomón Flórez-Contreras and Luis José Pundor-Quintero and Ana Diva
Quintero-Quintero de Pundor, and their respective families.” When ordering
provisional measures for said beneficiaries, the Court took into account that on April
21, 2004, when rendering a statement before the Court at the public hearing on the
merits and possible reparations and costs in the instant case, the witness Salomón
Flórez Contreras, brother of the victim Antonio Flórez- Contretas, expressed his fear
for testifying before the Tribunal; that Messr. Luis José Pundor Quintero and Ana
Diva Quintero-Quintero de Pundor are the brother and mother of the victims Israel
Pundor Quintero; and that on the Judgment of July 5, 2004, when the Court ordered
the reparations for the violations so declared, it also ordered, inter alia, that the
State should pay certain compensatory amounts in favor of Messrs. Salomón Flórez
Contreras and Luis José Pundor - Quintero and Ana Diva Quintero- Quintero de
Pundor; coupled with the fact that these people were threatened and harassed for
being beneficiaries of the reparations ordered by the Court. Besides, the Court
decided “to call upon the State, once again, to adopt and keep in place such
measures as may be required to protect the rights to life and humane treatment of
Sandra Belinda Montero-Fuentes and their children, Juan Manuel Ayala-Montero and
María Paola Casanova-Montero.”
