considered that a further 55 archives must remain confidential.71 According to expert witness Alejandro Valencia Villa, only six of the declassified documents were from the period from 1980 to 1986.72 Regarding the documentation that was made public, expert witness Doyle indicated that “it is a random collection, without a clear or evident declassification logic, containing thousands of pages of information that is trivial and useless for human rights investigators.”73 The Declassification Commission did not publish its final report. 74 C) The Diario Militar and the victims in this case 69. This case was presented with regard to the forced disappearances of 26 people that were recorded in the Diario Militar and that occurred starting in September 1983, as well as to the alleged failure to investigate the death of Rudy Gustavo Figueroa and the alleged detention and torture of Wendy Santizo Méndez. The specific facts relating to the alleged violations to the detriment of each of these individuals is described below. 1. José Miguel Gudiel Álvarez 75 70. José Miguel Gudiel Álvarez was 23 years old when he disappeared. He lived in Guatemala City, where he moved to protect his life, because his family was considered to be “subversive” by the State authorities at the time. José Miguel worked as a carpenter. The Diario Militar records José Miguel Gudiel Álvarez as follows: 9. JOSÉ MIGUEL GUDIEL ÁLVAREZ (alias) ERNESTO or MANUEL. A.k.a.: RIGOBERTO ÁLVAREZ TOBAR. Student and reporter. He was in Guerrilla Front No. 6, from which he deserted. 22-09-83: Captured in the Isabel La Católica Park. Sent to Coatepeque. 71. José Miguel lived near the Isabel La Católica Park, where the Diario Militar indicates that he was captured. As reported to the family by the owner of the house where José Miguel lived, in the early morning hours of September 22, 1983, a group of people had come to the home of Mr. Gudiel Álvarez in four large jeeps and broken into the house. Upon entering, they allegedly beat José Miguel’s companion, and also the owner of the house, and took valuables with them. José Miguel climbed onto the roof, was wounded in the leg, and captured. 71 Cf.
