100 * * * 191. As regards the alleged violation of the right to humane treatment of all the next of kin of the inmates who died or were injured as a consequence of the events in this case, the Court finds that next of kin, such as parents and siblings identified to this Court, are victims, namely: Feliciana Ocampos, Asunción Acosta, Ignacia Giménez, Teódulo Barboza, Felipa Valdez, Luis Ávila, Rosalía Figueredo, Dionicio Vega, Teofista Domínguez, Guillermo Augusto Poletti, María Teresa de Jesús Pérez, María Estela Barrios, Fidelina de la Cruz, Rosalinda Giménez Duarte, Benito Isidoro Adorno, Apolinaria Acuña, Roque Achar, María Estella Chamorro, Andrés Cañete B., María Rosa Virginia Baes, Concepción Ramos viuda de Duarte, Viviana Moraes, Leoncio Navarro, Silvia Portillo Martínez, Eristrudis o Edith Aranda, Tranquilino Méndez, Dirma Monserrat Peña, Emiliana Toledo, Flora Franco, Jerónimo Gonzáles, Cristina Delgado, Antonio Vera and Felipa Vera.
