93 that they left the land also because they were afraid of the frightening acts caused not only by the local political bosses but also by the military. Additionally, the representatives requested the reimbursement of transportation expenses and expenses for visits to the detention centers, especially incurred by the victims’ wives, which, according to the representatives, amounted approximately to US$ 1,905.49 American dollars, and together with the loss of their land, it seemed to have caused damages to the family property. 251. The State pointed out that, in this case, there were no violations of the Convention, so the compensatory reparations would not be applicable. Furthermore, since “each and every one of the amounts requested for pecuniary damages by the petitioners […] result solely and exclusively from the fact that Messrs. Montiel and Cabrera were imprisoned,” there should not be any ruling for reparations due to the lack of a causal link. Likewise, the State indicated that leaving the common land seems to have occurred, as sustained by the victims’ relatives, for fear of the actions adopted by the local political bosses. According to the State, “the interruption of the victims’ activities [seems to have occurred] due to their participation in various serious crimes and their flagrant detention” and “not due to any violation by the Mexican State.” 252. The Court notes that the representatives did not submit any documentary evidence concerning the alleged consequential damages or the loss of income suffered by Messrs. Cabrera and Montiel. The main evidence regarding this topic is testimonial evidence, which is acceptable within the circumstances of the present case, because the victims worked in the field; this can explain certain degree of informality. Furthermore, the Court considers that it is foreseeable that the effects of the violation of the right to humane treatment [personal integrity] caused several degrees of inactivity for a certain period of time. 253. The representatives only informed about the income of Mr. Montiel Flores, which was $ 3,300.00 Mexican pesos monthly, i.e. $ 39,600.00 Mexican pesos annually, equivalent to US$ 2,995.18 American dollars (supra para. 250). However, it springs from the case file that in his deposition before the Federal Public Prosecutor, Mr. Cabrera García said his income was, approximately, $ 50 Mexican pesos daily,354 i.e. $ 18,250.00 Mexican pesos annually, equivalent to US$ 1,380.18 American dollars. Based on the foregoing, and taking into account the violations of the rights suffered by Messrs. Cabrera and Montiel during their imprisonment and in the judicial proceeding conducted against them, as well as the fact that they were deprived of their liberty for over two years and a half, this Court decides to set, in equity, the amount of US$ 5,500.00 (five thousand five hundred U.S. dollars) or its equivalent in Mexican pesos, as a loss of income. This amount shall be delivered to Messrs. Cabrera and Montiel, within the term established by the Court to that end (infra para. 268). 254. As this Tribunal has previously established, the reparations must have a causal link with the facts of the case, the alleged violations, the proven damages, as well as with the measures requested to repair the resulting damages (supra para. 209). Therefore, this Tribunal shall not rule on the arguments of the representatives that do not respond to the foregoing. D.2 Non-pecuniary damage 255. The Court has developed in its case law the concept of non-pecuniary damages and has established that the non-pecuniary damage “may include both 354 Statement of Messrs.
