was taken to the Casa del Florero where, as in the case of the other individuals who were brought there, he was questioned about his identity and his documentation; then a solider pointed at him, separated him and identified him as a presumed guerrilla and took him to the second floor; (iii) on the second floor of the Casa del Florero he was interrogated numerous times and obliged to remain standing for hours, facing the wall, with his hands on his neck, while he was warned that “if [he] turned round, they would punch [him] in the face”; (iv) the following day, after the retaking of the Palace of Justice had been completed, he was taken with other individuals, including Orlando Arrechea, to the North Canton, where their personal details were taken and they were kept in a dark room, and (v) they were then taken to a police station from where they were released on November 8, 1985. 570 377. The case file also contains two statements made by Orlando Arrechea Ocoro; one, in 1985, before the Special Commission of the Attorney General’s office appointed to investigate what happened during the taking of the Palace of Justice and the other, in 2007, before the Prosecution Service. Mr. Arrechea Ocoro left the Palace of Justice together with Mr. Quijano on November 6, 1985; they were taken to the second floor of the Casa del Florero, and formed part of the group of “retained” individuals who, on November 7, 1985, were transferred to the North Canton and later to a police station. The events described in the statements of Orlando Arrechea Ocoro are consistent with and corroborate the statements of Mr. Quijano; also, as regards the fact that they were considered “suspicious” and that, on the second floor of the Casa del Florero, they were kept standing with their hands on their head facing the wall; that they were interrogated and coerced to “confess” that they were members of the guerrilla. 571 Also, two more witnesses have testified that Orlando Quijano was taken to the second floor of the Casa del Florero as a “suspect.” 572 378. The State questioned the truth of Mr. Quijano’s testimony based on what it considered were certain inconsistencies between the different statements, as well as the inconsistency with information provided by Mr. Arrechea, when they were supposed to be together. In this regard, the Court notes that the State’s objections focus on two main aspects: the time that they were at the Cavalry School of the North Canton and the type or definition of the treatment received in the different places. The Court notes that, in 1986, Mr. Quijano indicated that, in the 13th Brigade, 573 they were “standing for about an hour,” which is consistent with Orlando Arrechea’s statement (he indicated that they were there “around two or three hours), while in his statement before the Prosecution Service in 2006, he 570 Cf. Testimony of Orlando Quijano of January 8, 1986, before the 41st Itinerant Criminal Investigation Court (evidence file, folios 24126 to 24128); Testimony of Orlando Quijano of June 2, 2006, before the Prosecution Service (evidence file, folios 1264 and 1267); affidavit made on November 7, 2013, by Orlando Quijano (evidence file, folios 35892 to 35895); Orlando Quijano, “El Derecho del Derecho,” 1986 (evidence file, folios 15989 to 15991 and 15993), and SIJIN, Release order of November 8, 1985 (evidence file, folio 20171). 571 Cf. Testimony of Orlando Arrechea Ocoro of November 28, 1985, before the Special Commission (evidence file, folios 1221 to 1223), and Testimony of Orlando Arrechea Ocoro of July 18, 2007, before the Prosecution Service (evidence file, folios 1521 6 to 15218). 572 Cf. Testimony of Pedro León Acosta Palacio, employee of the Casa del Florero, of February 21, 1986, before the 30th Itinerant Criminal Investigation Court (evidence file, folio 15266). Also, María del Carmen de Patiño, General Service Assistant in the Ministry of Justice, testified that she found out, without specifying how, that the lawyer Orlando Quijano had been taken to the North Canton; although she never spoke to him directly, she was aware that he had been ill-treated because she spoke to Orlando Arrechea. Cf. Testimony of María del Carmen de Patiño of March 25, 2009, before the 51st Criminal Court of the Bogota Circuit (evidence file, folio 15008). 573 In his 1986 testimony, Orlando Quijano used the name “Military Institutes Brigade” to refer to the military facility where he was taken after the Casa del Florero. Following a request for useful information, both the representatives and the State provided information which revealed that the 13th Brigade replaced the Military Institutes Brigade in 1982. Consequently, the Court understands that Orlando Quijano was referring to the 13th Brigade. Also, the information provided reveals that the “North Canton” is a military area where several military units, including the 13th Brigade, “operate” or “are stationed” (acontanada). The Cavalry School is a tactical unit of the 13th Brigade, separated from the latter by a highway in Usaquén, in Bogota D.C. 130
