86 circumstances of the instant case, US$1,500.00 (one thousand five hundred United States dollars) for each of the sisters and US$1,500.00 (one thousand five hundred United States dollars) for Donatila Argueta Sánchez; c) with respect to the medical treatments received by the parents and the companion, Donatila Argueta Sánchez, they required medical treatment due to various illnesses172 as a consequence of the detention and extra-legal execution of Juan Humberto Sánchez. The parents’ illnesses, as stated by expert witness Munczek, are set within the framework of the situation of arbitrary detention of their son, the uncertainty regarding his whereabouts, the suffering for lack of knowledge of the circumstances of his death, the anguish for the injuries on his corpse, the grief caused by his being buried at the place where he was found, and their frustration and powerlessness in face of the results of the investigations of the facts by the Honduran public authorities. For the aforementioned reasons, this Court deems it appropriate to grant María Dominga Sánchez and Juan José Vijil Hernández, in fairness, US$3,000.00 (three thousand United States dollars) each, for medical expenses incurred. It also grants Donatila Argueta Sánchez, in fairness, US$500,00 (five hundred United States dollars); and d) with respect to the fact that the next of kin of Juan Humberto Sánchez moved from the village of Santo Domingo to another community, as a consequence of the harassment that they began to suffer after the facts in the instant case, the Court deems it possible to establish a causal link between the fact and the alleged consequences suffered by the family as a result of the facts in this case. While no specific amount was set for this prejudice, this Court has previously recognized expenses for this type of situation173 and, in turn, notes that no evidence was supplied regarding what this involved in financial terms, for which reason the Court sets the amount in fairness at US$2,000.00 (two thousand United States dollars), to be distributed in equal parts between Dominga Sánchez and Juan José Vijil Hernández. 167. Based on all the above, the Court sets the following amounts as compensation for pecuniary damage for the violations found: 172 Cf. El Caracazo Case, Reparations, supra note 4, para. 86; Trujillo Oroza Case, Reparations, supra note 22, para. 74.b; and Bámaca Velásquez Case, supra note 25, para. 54.b. 173 Cantoral Benavides Case, Reparations, supra note 125, para. 51.c); and Case of the “White Van” (Paniagua Morales et al.), Reparations, supra note 125, para. 98.
