-3iv. The re-establishment of the protection of Mrs. Naranjo Jiménez and her
family “under the direct and personal responsibility of the National Police.”
f) On April 6, 2006, the Commission was informed that Mery Naranjo Jiménez
and María del Socorro Mosquera Londoño were without protection and that,
even though the members of the Army who took part in the search of Mrs.
Naranjo Jiménez’s house had been identified and individualized, the Office of
the Medellín Public Prosecutor had not brought any charges. The Commission
was also informed that the risk study of Mrs. Mery Naranjo Jiménez had
concluded that her situation was “normal; that is [similar to] that of any other
citizen”; consequently, she could not benefit from protection measures from
the Ministry of the Interior, and
g) On April 11, 2006, the Commission requested the State to provide
information on the precautionary measures adopted and, at the date of the
request for these provisional measures, July 3, 2006, this information had not
been forwarded.
4.
The arguments of the Commission to justify its request for provisional
measures, which include those summarized below:
a) The death of Ana Teresa Yarce (supra Having seen paragraph 3(a)) confirms
the extreme gravity of the situation of the community leaders in Commune
XIII;
b) Even though the State has adopted measures of protection in favor of Mrs.
Naranjo Jiménez and Mrs. Mosquera Londoño, the protection granted has not
been adequate to safeguard the life of these persons and “the initial threats
have materialized in very serious acts against their physical integrity,
designed to deprive them of their life,” and
c) The precautionary measures ordered by the Commission had been the object
of a “risk study” and, based on the results, which identified Mery Naranjo
Jiménez as a person with a “normal risk level,” State agencies refused to
implement protection measures.
5.
The request of the Inter-American Commission for the Court, based on Article
63(2) of the American Convention, to require the State to adopt all necessary
measures to safeguard the life and personal integrity of Mery Naranjo Jiménez and
her next of kin: Juan David Naranjo Jiménez (son), Alejandro Naranjo Jiménez (son),
Erika Johann Gómez (daughter-in-law), Heidi Tatiana Naranjo Gómez (granddaughter), Sandra Janeth Naranjo Jiménez (daughter), Sebastián Naranjo Jiménez
(grandson), María Camila Naranjo Jiménez (granddaughter), Aura María Amaya
Naranjo (granddaughter), Alba Mery Naranjo Jiménez (daughter), Javier Augusto
Torres Durán (son-in-law) and Esteban Torres Naranjo (grandson), and also of María
del Socorro Mosquera Londoño. In this regard, the Commission requested that:
a) This protection should be personal, permanent and specialized. The persons
assigned to provide the protection should possess the relevant qualifications
and have the appropriate training and equipment to respond to a possible
attack;
b) The security units that have been denounced by Mery Naranjo Jiménez must
not take part in her protection;
c) Mery Naranjo Jiménez lives near her family, in a house that, although it has
independent parts, consists of one unit; consequently, the most appropriate
course of action would be to protect this residence and, to this end, the State
