84 shall remain available for, at least, a year and iii) broadcast the official summary, at least once, on a radio station327 to which the members of the municipalities of Petatlán and Coyuca de Catalán have access. Said publications and radio broadcast shall be made within six months following notice of this Judgment. C.2 Measures of rehabilitation i) Medical and psychological care 218. The Commission requested the Court to order the State to adopt measures of medical and psychological rehabilitation for the victims. In turn, the representatives added that such health care must be provided “by competent professionals, including the supply of medicines they may require.” The representatives also requested the Court to declare that the State must cover “any other expenses related to treatment, such as transportation, among any other needs that may be required.” It must also be pointed out that for the representatives “their health care mu[st be] for life […] due to the [alleged] torture inflict[ed] on Messrs. Cabrera and Montiel].” Furthermore, in their final written arguments, the representatives requested to comply with such measure “by means of a reimbursement scheme allowing for the victims to choose the doctors and psychologists they trust.” 219. In the psychological report of expert witness Ana Deutsch, it was diagnosed that the victims suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and major depression, related to the physical damages resulting from the attacks against their personal integrity they suffered (supra para. 125). Moreover, expert witness Quiroga indicated that the attacks against the personal integrity had developed symptoms that still persist today and that justify the medical care.328 220. The Court deems, as it has held in other cases329 that it is necessary to provide for a measure of reparation that provides an adequate treatment to the bodily and psychological suffering inflicted on the victims, taking into account their needs. Therefore, having confirmed the violations and the damages suffered by the victims, the Tribunal considers necessary to order measures of rehabilitation in the instant case. Moreover, the Court notes that Mr. Montiel is not currently living in Mexico and that Mr. Cabrera García does not live in the state of Guerrero and does not want his place of residence to be revealed for security reasons.330 221. Following this line of thought, the Court considers necessary for Mexico to provide Messrs. Cabrera and Montiel with an amount to cover the expenses of the specialized medical and psychological treatment, as well as other related expenses, at the place where they reside. In this regard, the Court reiterates that for the implementation of these measures, the State must obtain the consent of the 327 Cf. Case of the Yakye Axa Indigenous Community v. Paraguay.

Mexico, supra note 30, para. 252. 330 In reference to the power-of-attorney presented by the victims' representatives, the InterAmerican Commission requested, by means of brief of July 9, 2009, "to keep the information related to the current domicile of Mr. Montiel and Cabrera, as well as their respective families, in the more strict confidentiality […] due to the risks [to] their lives and personal integrities” (record of the merits, volume I, folio 91).
