13 The witness returned home while her mother was taking steps for them to return Rafael and Emilio’s bodies. When she got home she told her siblings Haydeé and Miguel Ángel what had happened, and they were deeply upset by the news, especially Miguel Ángel, who at the time was 8 years old. That night they saw a TV report on the facts, which were presented as a confrontation in which three “subversives” had died: her two brothers and a college student who had also been in the area. After the facts, the DINCOTE summoned her mother to make a statement and they also went to their house a couple of times, where they searched her brothers’ rooms, opened their mattresses and destroyed the family’s furniture. Furthermore, the police passed by their house almost daily. The witness was detained in October 1992 and taken to a prison for adults, even though she was 16, and she was held there four years. At the time of her detention and during the time she was detained they referred to her brothers Rafael and Emilio as terrorists. She and her brothers were very close; they shared everything. Rafael was very intelligent and got very good grades; he had even won a scholarship to study at an academy that would prepare him for the University; he was also very skilful and earned some money doing various jobs to help the household. Rafael wanted to be a mechanic. Emilio, in turn, was calm and studious, and he wanted to be an aviation technician when he grew up. She wants to find justice and wants the State to “vindicate” what they did to her brothers, for having dishonored their names; she wants the truth about what happened to be known. c. Testimony of Marcelina Paquiyauri Illanes de Gómez, mother of the alleged victims On June 21, 1991 she went to her work, together with her husband, leaving her children at home for them to breakfast. That same day in the morning they agreed, as usual, for her children Rafael, Emilio and Miguel to go look for her at work, but only Miguel went, and told her that his brothers had been taken away in a patrol car. Knowing that her sons had been detained made her worry and she asked for permission to leave work and go search for them. On the way, she heard on the radio that there had been a confrontation in the development where she lived and that three subversives had been killed. When she got home her neighbor told her that the police had “trampled” her sons and taken them away. At her house she looked for the minors’ documents, to be able to identify them with the authorities. At that time her daughter Marcelina Haydeé was nine months pregnant and when her health worsened they had to take her to the hospital. When she was about to leave the house together with her children Lucy, Miguel and Marcelina Haydeé, an unidentified person came to her house asking for her son Emilio and said he was his friend. When he saw that the family was in a hurry he went with them to the hospital.
