With regard to the next of kin of the deceased victims, expert witness Treue noted that “there is a tangible presence of psychological strain and lasting suffering caused by the murder of their relatives. The next of kin lack the opportunity to mourn and process the violent deaths of their relatives.”271 301. In their testimony before the Court, Alejandra María Beltrán Uribe272 and Virgilio Alfonso Hernández Castellanos,273 children of two of the deceased victims, described the deep impact that the events had on their families’ physical and mental health. Ms. Beltrán, daughter of victim Pablo Antonio Beltrán Palomino, described in particular how the health of her brother had been affected without the financial support from their father required to deal with her brother’s diet needs and the specialized medical assistance needed for her brother’s illness. Mr. Virgilio Hernández Castellanos, son of victim Virgilio Hernández Serrano, stressed his mother’s physical and psychological ill health, and stated that "any circumstance that may remind [his] mother of [his] father brings about serious consequences for [her] health". 302. In order to contribute to the reparation of the physical and psychological damages, the Tribunal finds it necessary to order the State to freely and immediately provide, through its specialized institutions of health, the medical and psychological treatment required by the next of kin of the deceased victims, and the surviving victim Arturo Salgado Garzón and his next of kin. The medical treatment for physical health should be provided by specialized medical personnel and institutions that ensure that the most adequate and effective treatment is provided for the pain and sickness that these individuals suffer. The psychological treatment should be provided by medical personnel and institutions which specialize in the treatment of victims of acts of violence similar to the events in this case. This medical and psychological treatment should be provided so long as needed, including the provision of necessary medicine, and taking into consideration the suffering of each of the victims following an individual evaluation. 268 Cf. expert report offered by Felicitas Treue (record of witness statements and expert reports, pages 6941 to 6948). 269 Cf. testimony offered by Arturo Salgado Garzón in the public hearing before the Inter-American Court held January 31 and February 1, 2007. 270 Cf. written report offered by expert Felicitas Treue (record of witness statements and expert reports, volume I, pages 6915 and 6916). 271 Cf. written report offered by expert Felicitas Treue (record of witness statements and expert reports, page 9683). 272 Cf. testimony offered by Alejandra María Beltrán Uribe in the public hearing before the Inter-American Court held January 31 and February 1, 2007. 273 Cf. testimony offered by Virgilio Alfonso Hernández Castellanos in the public hearing before the InterAmerican Court held January 31 and February 1, 2007.
