6 provisional measures of November 19, 2004 and January 19, and March 19, 2005; and whereby it further requested the State to submit its report of May 19, 2005. 9. On July 6, 2006, the Secretariat, on instructions from the President, and in view of the request made by the State so that the provisional measures be discontinued (supra Having Seen clause 3(j)), requested the representatives and the Inter-American Court to include in their observations detailed and up-to-date information about the situation of Carlos Nieto-Palma, and of the other beneficiaries of the provisional measures, Yvonne Palma-Sánchez and Eva Teresa Nieto-Palma, as well as of the minor John Carmelo Laicono-Nieto. 10. The briefs filed by Carlos Nieto-Palma on July 10 and August 17, 2006, whereby he submitted his observations and pointed out, inter alia, that: a) non-compliance with the visits by the Metropolitan Police, El Hatillo District Station, still continues, as such visits are sporadic and are made during his work hours, whereby he cannot possibly be at home at the time they are made; b) “the threats that ha[ve] been made against [him] for [the] time being […] have ceased and so has the persecution by the Thirty-Fourth Prosecutor of the Office of the Public Prosecutor with Full Jurisdiction Nationwide so that the beneficiary continues appearing at identity parades and supplementing his statements;” c) “[it is not] true” that the Thirty-Fourth Prosecutor of the Office of the Public Prosecutor with [Full] Jurisdiction Nationwide has requested the dismissal of the proceedings started regarding the facts denounced in the instant case by the beneficiary of the provisional measures, as it was informed by the Attorney General of the Republic. In any case, in his “status as victim” he has not been informed of said proceedings, nor has he been allowed to have access to the record, should this exist, or to exercise the right to defend himself. The Office of the Public Prosecutor has merely questioned him and requested him to appear at an identity parade; d) as to the request to discontinue the provisional measures, the events which gave rise to their adoption are still latent, such as his work as a human rights activist who defends the rights of persons under arrest, the donations he receives from international agencies such as the USAID Program implemented by the US State Department, and the constant public threats of state officials to accuse human rights non-government organizations working in prisons. Whenever there is a quarrel or a riot in a prison, these organizations are accused of having caused such actions. All this “invalidates the request made by the State […], which, in addition, has not tendered any conclusive evidence which supports its request;” e) as to the beneficiaries of the measures, he pointed out that at present he is the General Coordinator of the non-government organization Una Ventana a la Libertad, made up of volunteers devoted to promoting and defending human rights in prisons and jails and who are professionals or students at the Escuela de Derecho de la Facultad de Ciencias Jurídicas y Políticas (Law School of the College of Legal and Political Science) of Universidad Central de Venezuela; he is also a Professor at the Chair Cárceles y Derechos Humanos
