The witness declared that Benjamín “helped with the family’s upkeep, and assisted his mother and siblings,” and Rodolfo helped with the family’s upkeep by selling the crops he raised. Subsequently, he traveled to Argentina “in order to study and work and always sent his contribution to help maintain the family in Paraguay.” Mr. Ramírez Villalba stated that his brothers’ disappearance “has affected [them] considerably […] financially, physically and emotionally, owing to [the] lack of affective and financial support.” He also indicated that they have “used all [their] limited resources to find [their] disappeared siblings […] and on expenditure for medical] care.” He stated that, because his brothers are still disappeared, the family has “not been able to say goodbye to them and bury them.” He also declared that his brother, Benjamín, had a companion, María Magdalena Galeano, who “was interned in a psychiatric institute as a result of the torture she received together with [his] brother” and he does not know where she is now. The witnesses asked that “those responsible for the torture and disappearances should be convicted, that the State […] should use all possible means to find the remains of [his] brothers; that all the siblings and all the next of kin who suffered from the consequences of the disappearance of [his brothers], should be compensated fairly; that the State should acknowledge its responsibility publicly; that free medical and psychological care should be provided to all the victims’ next of kin, and that […] the State should find [his brother] Benjamín’s companion […] and compensate her.” (d) Ana Arminda Bareiro de Mancuello, mother of Carlos José Mancuello Bareiro The witness stated that her son “was a democrat and fought for the exercise of human rights in the country; he was against the dictatorial regime.” She declared that, in 1974, her son was detained by officials of the Asunción Police Investigations Department together with his wife, Gladis Ester Ríos de Mancuello, who was pregnant at the time of the facts, and their daughter, Claudia Anahí. Mrs. Bareiro de Mancuello stated that on repeated occasions she “dressed as a door-to-door salesperson in order to enter [the place where her son was detained] and obtain information, unsuccessfully, [and that] after two months [… she was able to speak] to the Assistant of the Head of the Investigations Department and asked that [her granddaughter] who was with [her] son and his wife be handed over to [her].” About five months later the authorities accepted to deliver her granddaughter to her. The witness indicated that “it was evident” that her son “was subjected to terrible physical torture and all kinds of abuse,” because she saw “the blood that had soaked into the clothes that he sent [her] to wash.” Subsequently her son was disappeared. The witness stated that she filed a criminal complaint based on the facts. She also said that she took steps to find where her son was buried, but all her efforts were in vain and, to date, she “is sure that [her] son was physically eliminated and the State […] has done absolutely nothing to inform [them] where his body is buried.” She indicated that she resorted to the Terror Files, where she had found “photographs of [her] son, police files, elements of the interrogations to which he had been subjected.”
