89 Sánchez and to his next of kin by the facts in this case: the physical and psychological suffering of the deceased victim as a consequence of the tortures and the extra-legal execution; burial of the mortal remains of Juan Humberto Sánchez at the place where he was found; arbitrary detention of the father and threats suffered by the next of kin as part of what happened to the victim, have caused various types of suffering to the members of his family: daughters, companions, parents and siblings of the victim. 174. As was proven, Juan Humberto Sánchez suffered, within the context of a practice of extra-legal executions (supra 70.1), an illegal and arbitrary detention, followed by torture (supra 70.5, 70.7) and 70.8). It is evidently part of human nature that any person subjected to torture, such as that committed against Juan Humberto Sánchez, will experience corporal pain and deep suffering. 175. As this Court has pointed out, said suffering also applies to the closest members of the family, especially those who had close emotional contact with the victim. The Court deems that no evidence is required to reach said conclusion.177 As has been proven in this case, the aforementioned considerations also apply to the stepfather and the half-siblings of the victim, who as members of an integrated family maintained close ties with Juan Humberto Sánchez. 176. In addition, prevailing impunity (supra 143) in this case has caused and continues to cause suffering to the next of kin, making them feel vulnerable and in a state of constant defenselessness vis-à-vis the State, a situation that causes them deep anguish, as has furthermore been proven. 177. Taking into account the various aspects of the damage discussed above, the Court sets the value of compensations for non-pecuniary damage, in fairness, in favor of the victim or, as appropriate, of his next of kin (infra 178), as listed in the following table: Reparations for Non-Pecuniary Damage Victim and next of kin Amount Juan Humberto Sánchez US$100,000.00 Juan José Vijil US$20,000.00 María Dominga Sánchez US$20,000.00 Donatila Argueta Sánchez US$20,000.00 Velvia Lastenia Argueta US$5,000.00 Breidy Maybeli Sánchez Argueta US$20,000.00 Norma Iveth Sánchez Argueta US$20,000.00 Reina Isabel Sánchez US$5,000.00 Julio Sánchez US$5,000.00 María Milagro Sánchez US$5,000.00 177 Cf.
