112. In relation to the violation of the personal integrity of the next of kin of Jesús María
Valle Jaramillo, in addition to the State’s acquiescence, it can be concluded from the body of
evidence, according to the statement made before the Court by Nelly Valle Jaramillo, that
“ever since [Jesús María Valle Jaramillo] died, ever since he was killed […], they have
always been afraid […], their apprehensions persisted, [as well as their] fear of leaving the
house.” When questioned about the consequences of the events in relation to the safety of
her family, she referred to her son, who had commented that “he was very afraid that
someone would place a bomb or do something to him.”73
113. In relation to Carlos Fernando Jaramillo Correa and his family, according to the
testimony of Saúl Jaramillo Giraldo, a friend of Mr. Jaramillo Correa:
The emotional impact [caused by the forced displacement] broke up the family, which had been a
united family that worked together. For the same reason, they had to go in different directions,
abandoning their property, and Don Jesús Emilio, who was very attached to his home town, La
Granja, had to live out his last days in Medellín and die there, displaced. [Jaramillo Giraldo also
told of how,] on one occasion, he and Carlos Fernando visited the latter’s father, who lived in the
Laureles district, and [of how he] was surprised because [Don Jesús Emilio] cried as he welcomed
them, recalling old times and their shared experiences in Ituango. [He also said that Carlos
Fernando Jaramillo told him that, as a refugee, he felt] safe, but not […] content, or happy as he
was [when] he lived in La Granja [a place he remembers] every day.74
