15 [her] father moved restlessly from one place to the other and [her] mother knelt and asked God the reason for deserving such grief.” In order to identify her brother’s body, her mother made a special point on the way he was dressed and the fact that a set of keys was missing. A set of keys that opened the doors of their home was found in the graves, so they knew it belonged to their brother. She said that “[when you hear about clandestine graves,] the image of complete bodies comes to your mind. But when you see only parts of a body you start to think […]. The memory of [your beloved] comes back to your mind, and now it has turned into this and you do not even know what part belonged to him. The human remains are valuable for the family, even though it is not possible […] to bring him back to life. At least you feel at ease that his body is complete. But it wasn´t. They made him disappear completely; they burned his body with lime, with gasoline, that shows their complete inhumanity.” After the discovery of the graves, they “were given the bodies […] in milk boxes, as if [their] family was worthless.” Her family was threatened. One day a mortuary wreath with her mother’s name arrived at APRODEH. Besides, they warned her not to go on speaking, or she would “die in the same way” her brother had. Her family has not been the same since her brother’s disappearance, “it has […] broken”; it used to be “merry, cheerful [and happy,] but this happiness has gone with Armando, but he[…] left a life example behind […] for this never to happen again.” It has been very hard for us to endure the pain of being told that our brother was a terrorist and that “he had been killed for said reason.” It was unbearable to see her mother’s condition. “Sometimes […] they saw her in the balcony, at dawn, waiting for him to return.” She did not feel like smiling, and had lost any will to start any personal project. Sometimes, she felt she could not endure such grief, she even considered suicide due the big injustice they were suffering. Nevertheless, she understood that “grief turns […] into strength.” Not only did she lose a beloved, but a part of her own life was gone with him […] Impossible to think about a personal project when the main issue was [her brother] and the claim for justice. Personal projects were gradually pushed to the background […]. She consider[ed] the possibility of committing suicide for she could stand the grief no longer. On the other hand, with the compensation awarded by the Judgment of the Military court, her parents bought the house where they currently live in. She feels justice has not been done, as she deems justice “as a whole and not partially.” “There will be no justice until all those responsible for the killings are punished. Therefore she requested the Court to overturn the judgment of the military court so that all those who were benefited with amnesty can be punished. She also requested that it be refuted that her brother was a terrorist; that the State assumes liability for all damages and ask for forgiveness. a) Dina Flormelania Pablo-Mateo, aunt of Heráclides Pablo-Meza She lived with her nephew, her husband and children for about seven years. Heráclides was a good student and hard-working young person, who was eager to get a professional degree.
