67 225. Regarding these matters, the Court considers that, first of all, the arguments of the representatives do not refer to a situation directly related to the investigation carried out in relation with the forced disappearance of Mr. Radilla-Pacheco, and that, second, they refer to an alleged situation that implies several of the “survivors” and “next of kin”, without specifying an actual scenario regarding the investigation of the facts in the specific case. Therefore, the Tribunal will not issue a ruling in this regard. b.4) Promotion of the investigations 226. During the public hearing Mrs. Tita Radilla stated (supra para. 9) that the excavations at the municipality of Atoyac had been carried out based on the references of the next of kin, according to which it had been said that there were human remains in what was the former military barracks. In that sense, she indicated that those responsible have not been investigated nor have the latter stated “where they left [their] next of kin,” among them, Mr. Rosendo Radilla-Pacheco. Mrs. Tita Radilla added that only one percent of the total property was excavated. 227. In this regard, in the statement offered by Mrs. Valadez Sanabria, it is indicated that on December 4, 2007 Mrs. Tita Radilla expanded her statement and “[r]equested [that] the investigations seeking the location of possible graves that could exist in the inside of the former Military Barracks of Atoyac de Álvarez, Guerrero, currently named City of the Services, be carried out, for which she mentioned the possible clandestine burial areas […].”231Likewise, in said statement the witness mentioned that on that same day a visual inspection was carried out in the “City of Services” where different sites were determined based on that stated by Mrs. Radilla Martínez and other people, “[t]hey are those in which based on rumors, it is presumed that people that were detained in the seventies and transferred to the then Military Barracks of Atoyac de Álvarez could be buried […].”232 228. During the public hearing, Mrs. Tita Radilla also stated that “[f]or weeks [they would go with the agents of the Special Prosecutors’ Office to the] General Archive of the Nation seeking documents[, and that] they found statements from [their] next of kin who had been detained and were disappeared,” as well as photographs in which they could observe signs of torture on several of them. Mrs. Radilla indicated that the Special Prosecutors’ Office told them they were going to request said documents and that they would give them a copy; however this never happeneved because those documents were “confidential” based on the fact that the preliminary inquiry had already been opened. Mrs. Radilla also stated that for ten days “[t]hey were with [the Special Prosecutors’ Office] at Isla Marías checking all the files that were there.”233 229. The Tribunal observes that the State mentioned that within preliminary inquiry PGR/FEMOSPP/033/2002 (supra para. 188), “[p]ersonnel specialized in historical tradition from the Special Prosecutors’ Office helped, supported, and oriented 10 people from Guerrero, among which Mrs. Tita Radilla Martínez was present, in the search for information included in the case files located in gallery 1 of the General Archive of the Nation, regarding 231 Cf.
