The witness was seven months pregnant at the time of the event. Due to the
events, she had to give birth by a cesarean section. Before that, her
pregnancy became complicated, with bleeding, and she received medical
treatment to withstand the months until the foreseen date of birth. The
witness had to begin to work immediately after the child was born. She
underwent psychological treatment.
She witnessed the shooting and death of the victim, as she was by his side at
the time he was shot. Since the death of her husband, she has had to be
both mother and father for her son Iván José Rey. The witness has been
traumatized, suffers insomnia and depression. Her pain deepened with
impunity over the last thirteen years.

María Encarnación Salazar Campos, the mother of Javier Rubén
Rojas Campos.
Javier Rubén Rojas Campos was single and worked as a presser at a clothing
factory. His corpse was buried without authorization of his next of kin and his
body was identified and exhumed in 1990 upon a request by COFAVIC. At the
time of the event the victim earned minimum wage and supported, through
weekly contributions, his daughter Haymar Rojas Campos and the witness,
who is in charge of the girl. The brother of the victim, Carlos Rafael, supports
them financially.
Together with Carlos Rafael, she covered the expenses of the vigil. COFAVIC
covered expenses in pursuit of justice.
The witness had to stop working as a consequence of the death of her son.
In 1993 she fell ill to the point that she could no longer work. The cost of the
medicine has been covered by the insurance that Carlos Rafael is paying for
her. The day of the event, the witness was in the kitchen of their house with
the daughter of the victim, when she heard shots nearby. Carlos Rafael was
called and told that his brother had been killed. She came out and saw him
lying on the floor, dead. Then they took him away and when they went to
look for his body at the morgue they were told that it was too late because
there was a curfew. The following day, they told them to come back to look
for him on Friday. When they arrived that day, they were told that the
military had taken him away. Afterwards, the family found out that their son
had been buried in a common grave in the General Southern Cemetery. The
witness feels somewhat more at ease since the mortal remains of her son
were handed over to her in 1990.
She is aware that the government has sought to deny the existence of the
daughter of the victim. The witness, Haymar Rojas Campos and Carlos Rafael
Rojas Campos have been deeply affected emotionally and financially by the
death of the victim. She continues to suffer insomnia and high blood
pressure. Due to lack of resources, she has never received psychological
treatment.
