30 In January 1994, discussions with the Guatemalan Minister of Defense, General Mario Enríquez, were reinitiated for six months. He told her that they had never held her husband, but that they would start a search in the zone. She also had meetings with several members of the armed forces who declared that it was “a very tragic misunderstanding (sic), but they ha[d] never held him”. Furthermore, she met with the Head of the National Police Force, Mr. Cifuentes, who expressed great interest in investigating the case, but feared the action of the armed forces, to the extent that he resigned from his position. In June that year, doors began to close. She feared for her husband's life owing to the signature of the Peace Agreements, because she considered that the armed forces would not need any further information from him. She went to the offices of the Organization of American States (OAS) and then to the United Nations, but the Army maintained “a position of international defiance”. In these circumstances, during the first week of October 1994, she began another hunger strike in front of the National Palace, which lasted 32 days; she was ready to continue this until she died and, as a consequence, her heart and kidneys were damaged and she had problems with her sight. The Army threatened her and those who accompanied her. Later, together with Richard Nuccio, an official of the US State Department in Guatemala, they began to investigate the case, but with little success. On the thirtieth day of her hunger strike, Army authorities asked her to attend an exhumation in Coatepeque the following day; she went, although she knew that it would be inconclusive. The aim of the armed forces was to weaken her even more, so that they could take her to hospital and thus end the hunger strike. At a certain moment, the CBS program, "60 Minutes" announced that the United States Embassy in Guatemala had not given Jennifer Harbury information on the capture of Bámaca Velásquez, despite the existence of a CIA report. Two days later, the Embassy issued a statement indicating that, according to the US Government's intelligence information, Bámaca Velásquez had been captured by the Army and kept prisoner in secret for an indefinite time. The publication of this information caused her to cease her hunger strike. A criminal proceeding was started on the initiative of the Attorney General, a special pre-trial investigation procedure was initiated by the Ombudsman and an Investigation Committee was appointed at the request of the President of the Republic. The latter was ineffective and, as a result of the first two proceedings, she had to respond to questioning during her 32-day hunger strike. She began a lawsuit before the United States authorities based on the Freedom of Information Act, which allowed her to obtain documents and files with information on the case. She started a third hunger strike on March 12, 1995, which lasted 12 days, until a United States senator, Robert Torricelli, told her that her husband had been executed on the orders of Colonel Julio Roberto Alpírez, after having been held prisoner by the Army. She later obtained a copy of the State Department and CIA files containing information that Bámaca Velásquez (Comandante Everardo) had been captured and “was clandestinely detained” and being tortured by members of the G-2, in order to “maximize his intelligence value”. She obtained documents indicating that Julio Alberto Soto Bilbao, Mario Ernesto Sosa Orellana and Julio Roberto Alpírez were those responsible for the abuses. She also acquired a statement by Acisclo
