family, in the terms of Article 5(1) of the American Convention. Therefore, it must analyze whether the evidence provided by the parties proves that their personal integrity has been harmed. 306. In this regard, based on the testimony, and on the pertinent parts of the psychological report and other documents in the case file, the Court finds proven that, regarding some of the non-immediate members of the victims’ families, one or more of the following circumstances has occurred: (a) there were close family ties between them and the victims who were executed; (b) they have been involved in filing domestic complaints or actions to obtain justice; (c) the death of their next of kin has affected them personally, physically and emotionally; (d) the facts have affected their family relationships, and have ruptured family dynamics and forced some of them to assume new roles within the family; (e) the effects they have experienced have been compounded by the State’s omissions in relation to the absence of an investigation into what happened and of information on why their next of kin were executed, as well as by the permanent desire to obtain justice, and (f) because of what happened to their brothers and nephews, they have been forced to move to other places. 307. In this case, it has been proved that there were close family ties between the siblings of Benito Antonio Barrios, Luis Alberto Barrios, Narciso Barrios and Juan José Barrios, because they formed a single family group with Pablo Julián Solórzano Barrios, Eloisa Barrios, Elbira Barrios, Maritza Barrios, Brígida Oneyda Barrios, Inés Josefina Barrios, Lilia Ysabel Solórzano Barrios and Luisa del Carmen Barrios. They were very united; they had an excellent relationship, they took part in the same activities, and they gathered together for festivities.388 In the same way, there were close ties between Víctor Daniel Cabrera Barrios and his cousin Oscar José Barrios.389 308. Also, some next of kin have been involved, to a greater or lesser degree, in filing domestic complaints or actions to obtain justice; this is the case of Eloisa Barrios.390 309. Similarly, it has been proved that the death of their brothers has had personal, physical and emotional effects on Brígida Oneyda Barrios, Lilia Ysabel Solórzano Barrios, Luisa del Carmen Barrios, Pablo Julián Solórzano Barrios, Elbira Barrios and Eloisa Barrios,391 as well as on some of the nephews and nieces of the deceased; this is the case of Marcos Antonio Diaz Barrios, Sandra Marivi Betancourt Barrios, Junior José Betancourt Barrios, Wilneidys Betania Pimentel Barrios, Beatriz Adriana Cabrera Barrios, Victor Daniel Cabrera Barrios, Luilmari Carolina Guzmán Barrios and Luiseidys Yulianny Guzmán Barrios.392 In this regard, the violation of the right to personal integrity of the next of kin of the victims is verified by the consequences that the events have had on them at a personal, physical and, above all, emotional level.
