30 Since the disappearance of her spouse and her two children she has felt very ill. Two years later she contracted hepatitis and has cirrhosis. She also suffered malaria of the brain and has been in bed with no one to support her. She has talked with close to twenty displaced persons from Mapiripán, who have told her that they lost next of kin during the facts. She told them about the instant case and they said that “there was no way they would say anything, because they knew that they were in danger and they told [her] […] that she should stop doing that because she had a noose around her neck.” She feels “quite fearful” for having testified, especially when she returns to Colombia. She wants justice to be done “because there are many who are suffering.” Justice is necessary “so that they no longer massacre the people. She asked “that they remember that their life is hanging by a thread [and that] they remember that […] they too are Colombia and they have a right to life. [She also requested] that [they] give them the opportunity to raise [their] children and move forward.” d) Nory Giraldo de Jaramillo, spouse of Sinaí Blanco Santamaría On the day of the facts they took her spouse away during the night, and the following day she and her sister found the body beheaded and “with the arms tied behind the back with a cord.” Afterwards they took the body away in a small airplane and buried it in San Martín. She worked with her spouse in a business; they lived comfortably and everything they had belonged to them. However, “everything was lost when [she] left.” She was forced to leave Mapiripán, because when they killed her “spouse logically [she] had to leave that place.” Her lived changed “completely [because] life as a displaced person is very harsh because [one] feels afraid of everything, there is no way to work, [one] has no way to earn [one’s] sustenance, [one] even has to beg for charity from anyone who is willing to give.” The death of her spouse affected family life “very much, morally, financially, everything, in every way.” She was never the same again, and each time that she remembers, “the grief is terrible.” She feels “grief, despair, anger, for all the damage they have done to [her].” She fears for her children. Justice, for the witness, “means well-being for [her] and [her] children and for those guilty to be punished.” e) Marina Sanmiguel Duarte, spouse of José Rolan Valencia On the day of the facts her spouse was taken out of their house in front of her children and herself by a paramilitary group, who “tied his hands behind his back and took him from the house.” The next day she found him “next to the road, the body on one side and his head on the other side.”
