54.25. The next of kin of Mr. Santiago Gómez-Palomino have suffered emotionally
and psychologically as a result of the forced disappearance occurred on July 9,
1992, and the impunity prevailing in the instant case, which has caused them non
pecuniary damages. 38 The members of the family were exposed to a state of
defenselessness, lack of support and absolute disregard by State authorities in the
immediate search of Mr. Santiago Gómez-Palomino. The psychological impact of the
disappearance of Mr. Gómez-Palomino could not be elaborated by the members of
his family, who have been suffering this traumatic experience for over thirteen
years. The family suffers from a generalized depression, which has been particularly
revealed by the psychological and physical health condition of Mrs. Victoria
Margarita Palomino-Buitrón and of Mrs. Mónica Palomino-Buitrón, who attempted
suicide after the events.39

pecuniary damages.40
54.27. Mrs. Esmila Liliana Conislla-Cárdenas has suffered from posttraumatic stress
as a result of the events surrounding the forced disappearance of her partner, which
she witnessed. She also joined Mr. Gómez-Palomino’s mother and sisters in their
pain and suffering, caused by the absolute lack of support and indifference shown
by State authorities in the immediate search of him, and felt fear to carry on with
said search as she might become the target of threats or attacks. All this has caused
her non pecuniary damages.41
