74 reported on May 8, 2003, in File No. M.P. 247-1997-1378. 291 Furthermore, the Court has no information on the actions taken to find Pedro Siana, Casimiro Siana, Juan Pérez Sic, María Concepción Chen Sic, Marcelo Sic Chen, Jorge Galeano Román and Enrique Mendoza Sis, all victims of forced disappearance (supra paras. 148, 156 and 160). The Court considers that this continues to increase the uncertainty of the next of kin regarding the whereabouts of the victims, which affects their right to know what happened to them. 239. Fifth, the preliminary procedures aimed at identifying those responsible in relation to File No. 802-95 Of. 6 before the District Prosecutor of the Public Prosecution Service of Salamá took place in February 2010, that is, 15 years after the filing of the complaints of executions, disappearances, arbitrary detention, forced labor, as well as rape that appear in the case file. 292 Likewise, the ten persons investigated by the Public Prosecutor’s Office as of that date belonged to the PAC, and there is no record that any member of the Guatemalan Army has been investigated, 293 despite the fact that the complaints also indicated their participation. 294 In addition, the statement of only one of the persons investigated was taken, 295 two of them died and there is no record of additional inquiries aimed at locating the others. 296 On July 17 and October 4, 2013, the assistant prosecutor of the District Prosecutor's Office informed COPREDEH that the proceedings “were in the investigation phase.” 297 There is no record in the evidence before this Court of any subsequent action. This point will also be addressed in section B.2 below. 240. Sixth, the Court observes that in File M.P. 247-2006-441, in which the disappearance of the relatives of Juana García Depaz was reported 298 on July 18, 2013, the assistant prosecutor asked the judge of the Criminal Court of First Instance to take her statement as preliminary evidence, and that it be considered “as a final statement which [possibly] could not be repeated in the proceedings due to the advanced age” of Mrs. García. 299 However, there is no record in the case file as to whether the judge complied with this request. Also, in March 2015, that is, almost two years later, the assistant prosecutor sent an official letter to the Director of the Migratory Control Cf. Statement of Clementina Bachan Cahuec of May 8, 2003 (evidence file, folios 9142 and 9143). On May 9, 1995, Juana García Depaz filed a complaint before the Departmental Assistant of the Human Rights Ombudsman regarding the existence of clandestine cemeteries located in the village of Chichupac. On May 31, 1995, the Departmental Assistant of the Human Rights Ombudsman brought the complaint to the attention of the District Prosecutor of the Public Prosecutor's Office of Salamá. In addition, on June 9, 1995, Mrs. Garcia gave a statement to the District Prosecutor's Office. On June 20, 1995, Máxima Emiliana García Valey and Francisco Sic Chen filed a new complaint before the Departmental Assistant of the Human Rights Ombudsman regarding the existence of clandestine cemeteries in the aforementioned village. On July 12, 1995, the Departmental Assistant brought the complaint to the attention of the District Prosecutor's Office. Cf. Complaint of Juana García Depaz filed on May 9, 1995 (evidence file, folios 1290 and 1291); statement of Juana García Depaz of June 9, 1995 (evidence file, folios 1263 and 1264), and complaints regarding clandestine cemeteries filed by the Departmental Assistant to the Human Rights Ombudsman of May 31 and July 12, 1995 (evidence file, folios 1574 to 1577, and 1259 to 1261). 293 In response to a request dated January 20, 2010, on February 16, 2010, the assistant prosecutor of the District Prosecutor's Office of the Public Prosecution Service of Salamá sent COPREDEH a report on the content and progress of case numbers 247/1995/802 (or 802-95 Of. 6), 247/1995/1995, and 247/1995/1085 processed before it. That same day, the assistant prosecutor requested the Chief of the National Civil Police to order “the investigators in his charge [to initiate...] the corresponding investigation in order to identify” ten alleged members of the PAC who were responsible “for having committed violent acts at that time.” Cf. Official letter of COPREDEH of January 21, 2010 (evidence file, folio 9011), and official letter of the assistant prosecutor of the Public Prosecution Service of Salamá dated February 16, 2010 (evidence file, folios 8969 to 8970 and 8981 to 8987). 294 Cf.
