establish a direct link between those facts and the disappearance of Nitza Paola Alvarado Espinoza, Rocío
Irene Alvarado Reyes, and José Ángel Alvarado Herrera.”256
199.
The Commission does not have any additional information on investigations into the threats
and harassment reported by the family.
200.
As for the impact on the family, the petitioners reported that after the threat of January 29,
2011, described above, José Ángel Alvarado Herrera’s family and 21 additional members of the Alvarado
family decided to flee that very day out of fear that the death threats against them might be carried out.257 Of
these individuals, 12 family members fled to Benito Juárez: José Ángel Alvarado Favela, Concepción Herrera,
Obdulia Espinoza Beltrán, J.A.E, J.A.A.E, and A.E.B, Jaime Alvarado Herrera, Sandra Luz Rueda Quezada, and
J.O.A.R, R.G.A.R, C.N.A.R, and J.E.A.R. In addition, 10 family members fled to Ciudad Juárez: Rosa Olivia
Alvarado Herrera, Felix García García, Karina Paola Alvarado Espinoza, F.A.H, J.G.A, and A.G.A, Manuel
Melquíades Alvarado Herrera, Mayra Daniela Salaís Rodríguez, and D.J.A.S and X.A.S.258
201.
In a note dated December 24, 2013, the petitioners stated that:
acts of harassment against the beneficiaries [of PM] led 11 members of the Alvarado family
to seek political asylum in the United States of America in order to protect their lives and
safety. The people in that country, whose asylum requests are being processed, are:
Ascención Alvarado Fabela and María de Jesús Espinoza Peinado, Nitza’s father and mother;
María de Jesús Alvarado Herrera, Nitza’s sister, as well as her husband Rigoberto Ambriz
Marrufo and their four minor children: R.A.A., I.A.A.A., J.E.A.A., and A.Y.A.A; in addition to
Nitza Paola Alvarado Espinoza’s three daughters (…).259
202.
With regard to these people, the petitioners expressed their concern about the lack of
implementation of the provisional measures in their favor, given that, as long as their asylum requests have
not been approved, they run the risk of being deported.260
203.
In turn, six of Rocío Irene Alvarado Reyes’s family members moved to Benito Juárez.261
204.
Lastly, in the context of the provisional measures, the State has been reporting on a set of
proposals and measures to help some members of the Alvarado family, including humanitarian support and
various forms of social assistance in the areas of health, education, productive projects, etc. The Commission
takes note of this information and considers that it can be appropriately assessed at the time of evaluating the
measures adopted on possible components of compensation in the instant case, once it has been decided if
the State bears international responsibility.
