105 b) In order to estimate the amount corresponding to loss of earnings suffered by Urcesino Ramírez-Rojas, “his professional profile, and his twenty years’ experience working for the public administration sector should be taken into account, since they allowed him to acquire certain degree of recognition for the quality of the counseling services he provided to members of the Congress of the Republic;” c) Even though the amounts charged by Urcesino Ramírez-Rojas for his services varied “depending on the degree of complexity and the subject matter dealt with, they could be estimated at approximately US $ 12,000.00 (twelve thousand U.S. dollars) a year. Taking into account that he was deprived of his freedom for thirteen years, the total amount of loss of earnings is US $ 156,000.00 (one hundred and fifty-six thousand U.S. dollars);” d) In the particular case of Urcesino Ramírez-Rojas’ brother, i.e. Pedro RamírezRojas, “at the moment of [his] detention he was laid off from Banco de la Nación (“Bank of the Nation”). He had some savings which he invested to carry on sales of food supplies; however, due to [his] detention, the business had to be closed owing to the permanent presence of police officers, which generated a feeling of insecurity for the family. After the business was closed, [his] brother Pedro considered investing his modest savings in setting up a hardware store. This project became unfeasible after [Urcesino’s] detention, since he was forced to get involved in the defense of [his] brother, as Pedro was the only one of [his] siblings that due to his retirement had some means to provide for [his] welfare;” e) Urcesino Ramírez-Rojas and his next of kin have incurred expenses for a total amount of US $ 13,436 (thirteen thousand four hundred and thirty-six U.S. dollars) as consequential damages arising from the following: (i) the loss of a “typewriter;” the loss of financial, economic, and population information gathered throughout the years; more than 100 floppy disks, books, magazines, and audio-tapes; amounting to US $ 500 (five hundred U.S. dollars); (ii) traveling expenses to visit the penitentiary centers of Cajamarca and Trujillo were paid by the International Red Cross; however, due to the high season, tickets rise 50 % or more and Urcesino Ramírez-Rojas or his siblings had to pay the difference. Taking into account that his siblings visited him monthly and that on each occasion two of them visited him, and that during the last quarter of the year the price of tickets was increased due to seasonal factors, the amount of the difference that the alleged victim and his siblings had to pay amounts to US $ 1,000 (one thousand U.S. dollars); (iii) the traveling expenses incurred by the next of kin to go to police headquarters, judicial offices, and seats of the Office of the Public Prosecutor, and of the Ombudsman’s office, as well as those expenses incurred in reaching the offices of non-governmental human rights organizations, and the offices of defense counsels amount to US $ 100 (one hundred U.S. dollars);
