32 entered asking where "the marijuana" was, told her they knew that her husband sold it, searched the house and found nothing, but stole money from them. Their sons Marvin and Oscar followed the agents who carried her husband away and saw them beat him with a rifle butt. Mr. Vásquez’s captors put him face down through the back door of a large white "van", in which there were other agents who put their feet on top of him. The next day she went to the "Second Precinct" where she was told that her husband was not there, but she did see him when she returned on visiting day. He had been badly beaten, found it difficult to speak and one eye was closed and inflamed; he told her that after they had seized him they took him to the Treasury Police and transferred him the next day to the "Second Precinct." She went to the Third Justice of Peace, where she was told that her husband was accused of drug possession and consumption; they sentenced him "to four years." On her second visit to her husband he still had visible swellings, which disappeared approximately one month later. In response to questions from the Commission and the State, she said that following her husband’s arrest she had been visited by six or eight agents carrying a great many photographs of agents and of a van, but the photographs were not those of the agents that had apprehended her husband. At the time of her husband’s detention she did not file a writ of habeas corpus; her husband identified six Treasury Police agents and the white van in a statement made to a notary, who delivered it to the police. No one was detained, but they had not detained anyone; her husband was murdered five days before he was due to testify before the Inter-American Commission. f. Testimony of Oscar Humberto Vásquez, son of Oscar Vásquez On February 13, 1988, at around seven or eight at night, he was at home when some policemen arrived and asked for his father, whom they arrested and handcuffed when he went out to them. There were some fifteen men outside the house, four of whom came in to search it. Three wore the green uniform of the Treasury Police, while one wore civilian clothes; they told his father to hand over "the marijuana" and beat him. They searched the entire house and took money away. He saw them put his father face down into a white "van" with tinted windows, two doors in front, a sliding door on the right side and other behind, and also saw all the agents put their feet on his father’s back; the operation lasted about 15 minutes. Approximately eleven men were arrested for the beating his father received, but they were released. In reply to questions from the Commission and the State, he said that after the detention a policeman came to his home with photographs to see whether his mother could identify the policemen that had arrested his father or the "van", and that his family had never been compensated for the damage occasioned by his father’s arrest. g. Testimony of Jean-Marie Simon, journalist and former Human Rights Watch/Americas consultant The witness testified that in 1988 she was working in Guatemala as a journalist and human rights consultant; she had interviewed Judge Julio Aníbal TrejoDuque four days after his release; that day she also interviewed Judge GuerraJuárez at his office; she took notes of the interviews but the judges gave her certain information which they did not allow her to write down. Judge GuerraJuárez told her that Judge Trejo-Duque was very scared and that everyone thought that he had been kidnapped by military intelligence (G-2). She interviewed Judge Trejo at his office and he informed her of the circumstances of his kidnapping; that it occurred in a busy sector and that police officers in the vicinity had not intervened. He also said that while he was in captivity his
