126. In December 2007, the defense counsel of Lucas Matías Mendoza 177 and Claudio David Núñez 178 filed a complaint of physical violence before Federal Criminal and Correctional Court No. 2, requesting a hearing with the judge in order to report that on December 9, 2007, these young men had suffered abuse while in Ezeiza Federal Prison Complex I. 179 127. In this regard, the records of Federal Prison Complex I of December 9 and 13, 2007, show that both Lucas Matías Mendoza and Claudio David Núñez had indicated that their injuries were “the result of an altercation with another inmate” 180 and, also, that, “[…] piece[s] of broomsticks […] with blood stains” had been found. 181 In addition, the disciplinary report prepared by the Service Inspector on duty of Federal Prison Complex No. 1, indicates that, on December 9, 2007, a heated argument started and a fight ensued in which Lucas Matías Mendoza, Claudio David Núñez and two other inmates took part. The prison staff proceeded to separate them and house them preemptively in the transit cell of Module II, where they underwent a medical examination and were later taken back to their individual cells. 182 Moreover, the report of the prison doctor issued the next day states that Claudio David Núñez had a “contusion in the right dorsal region, on the back of his right knee and on the back of his left leg,” and that Lucas Matías Mendoza had a “contusion in the dorsal region and a blunt injury on his scalp, sutured.” 183 128. On December 11, 2007, the national Prison Oversight Office learned of these facts by a telephone call that Lucas Matías Mendoza’s mother made to its Directorate General for the Protection of Human Rights. The next day, the doctor of the national Prison Oversight Office went to Federal Prison Complex I and performed a complete examination of both young men. The doctor described all their injuries and concluded that these were due, “prima facie, to a blow, friction and/or impact with or against a hard surface and/or body.” Among other injuries, he noted that Claudio David Núñez had an “[i]rregularly-shaped hematoma with imprecise edges, on the outer edge of the fifth [left] metatarsal,” and that Lucas Matías Mendoza had an “irregularly-shaped hematoma with imprecise edges, that covered half the sole of both feet.” 184 Also, on December 12 or 13, 2007, another doctor from the Medical Assistance Service of Federal Prison Complex No. 1 examined the inmates and reported that 177 Cf.
