Mrs. Bareiro de Mancuello stated that her son’s absence “destroyed” her and that she
has been ill since the day he was detained. Her other children also suffered illnesses
and, following the facts, they “were refused work everywhere.” Her son’s
disappearance has affected them all emotionally and physically. She indicated that,
for her son’s wife “the absence of her husband, added to the violations perpetrated
against her, has resulted in tremendous mental problems […]. Her children were
affected and continue to be affected, because every day they relive their anguish.”
She declared that her grandson, Carlos Marcelo, was born in prison where he
remained with his mother until they were both released.
Mrs. Bareiro de Mancuello stated that, before her son’s disappearance, they lived on
her husband’s salary and the help they received from their son, Carlos. Following his
abduction and disappearance, they stopped receiving the amount the latter
contributed and her husband was dismissed from his employment “as a result of the
harassment that continued against [her] family, even after losing [her] son.”
Consequently, neither her daughter-in-law nor she had any income during the first
years of her son’s detention, and had to live “from the charity of religious
organizations;[… they] lacked many necessities for a decent life, in terms of
nutrition, health care and other basic elements.”
Mrs. Bareiro de Mancuello requested “fair compensation in keeping with the damage”
that she, her grandchildren and her children have suffered. She asked the Court to
order the State to “provide [them] with decent and integral reparation.” She also
requested other forms of reparation, guarantees of non-repetition and of satisfaction.
Lastly, she stated that she “want[s] […] to find […] the remains of [her] son in order
to give them a Christian burial”; that the State should do justice; that it convict
those responsible, and that “there should be peace […] and respect for human
rights.”

Gladis Ester Ríos de Mancuello, wife of Carlos José Mancuello Bareiro
Mrs. Ríos de Mancuello declared that she was detained with her husband and her
daughter, Claudia Anahí, and that, at the time, she was pregnant with her son,
Carlos Marcelo, who was born in a police station in Paraguay. She was detained for
three years.
The witness stated that, after she had been expelled from the country, she went to
Argentina where she suffered “many psychological and emotional problems as a
result of what she had endured and the psychological torture she was subjected to
continually during [her] detention.” She indicated that her children “suffered
profoundly owing to their experiences[, which caused them and continues to cause
them harm, [such as] the breakdown of their parental system, psychological harm
[…], deprivation of the presence of their father […and] mother.” The witness
indicated that she had had to pay for medical and psychological treatment for her
two children, but that, “nowadays, their income did not allow them to receive the
treatment they required for the problems they suffer.”
Finally, Mrs. Ríos requested the Court to order the State to provide different types of
reparation and guarantees of non-repetition and satisfaction.
