65 201. Taking into account the different aspects of the damage argued by the Commission and the representatives, the Court sets in equity the value of the compensations for non-pecuniary damages, pursuant to the following parameters: a) to determine the compensation for the non-pecuniary damage suffered by Mr. Alfredo López Álvarez, the Court has present, inter alia, that: i) he was subject to cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatments; ii) during his detention and while he remained at the Office of Criminal Investigation he was subject to physical and mental mistreatment so that he would incriminate himself, he did not receive medical attention, and he was object of a physical inspection by another detainee (supra paras. 54(12) and 54(14)); iii) during his detention in the Criminal Center of Tela and in the National Penitentiary of Támara he was subject to infrahuman, unhealthy, and overcrowded conditions of imprisonment, without a bed to rest on, he did not receive an adequate diet, nor did he have the essential hygienic conditions (supra para. 54(48)); and in the Criminal Center of Tela he was prohibited from speaking in his native language, Garifuna (supra para. 54(49)); iv) he was imprisoned with persons that had already been convicted, despite the fact that he was still being processed (supra para. 54(47)), and v) he was illegally and arbitrarily imprisoned for more than six years in those conditions and kept away from his family, all of which affected his personal dignity and integrity. Therefore, this Tribunal considers that an amount must be set in equity for the reparation of the non-pecuniary damage; b) in the determination of the compensation for non-pecuniary damage that corresponds to Mrs. Teresa Reyes Reyes, it is necessary to consider that she had to assume the care of her children without the support of the victim, that at the time of Mr. Alfredo López Álvarez’s arrest she was pregnant, and that she experimented anguish and pain for the inhuman and unhealthy conditions to which Mr. López Álvarez was subject in the penitentiary centers were he was imprisoned, and which she suffered when she visited the victim (supra para. 54(53)); c) in what refers to Mr. Alfredo López Álvarez’s children, that is: Alfa Barauda López Reyes, Suamein Alfred López Reyes, Gustavo Narciso López Reyes, Alfred Omaly López Suazo, Deikel Yanell López Suazo, Iris Tatiana López Bermúdez, José Álvarez Martínez, and Joseph López Harolstohn, and the children of Teresa Reyes Reyes, José Jaime Reyes Reyes and María Marcelina Reyes Reyes, who are considered children of Mr. López Álvarez, this Court considers that their father’s situation caused them suffering and insecurity; for the more than six years that the victim remained detained they did not have a father figure by their side (supra para. 54(53)). This was worse in the case of the children Alfa Barauda, Suamein Alfred, and Gustavo Narciso López Reyes, who were born when their father was incarcerated. Therefore, an amount must be set in equity for the reparation of the non-pecuniary damage; d) regarding the parents of the victim, Messrs. Apolonia Álvarez Aranda and Catarino López, in this case, due to the conditions of imprisonment and the penalties imposed on the detainee in the criminal centers of Tela and Támara (supra para. 54(53)), it is considered that they should be compensated for nonpecuniary damages, and e) finally, in what refers to the victim’s siblings the Tribunal considers that Mrs. Alba Luz García Álvarez, Rina Maribel García Álvarez, Marcia Migdali García
