psychological monitoring and assistance; on 11 occasions, he has received attention in the Medical Assistance Division and, although he was treated in the El Sauce Hospital for a fresh suicide attempt on May 19 and 20, four days later he was re-evaluated by the psychiatric services and it was determined that he had been “compensated, and was no longer considering suicide.” The State also presented conclusions of reports on these three individuals prepared by the Psychological Treatment Division. 20. In its latest brief (supra twenty-first having seen paragraph), the Commission stated that William Vargas García was allegedly continuing to receive threats, even though he had been accepted into the witness protection program when he was released on parole and the State has not given him any protection. In addition, although the provincial government had apparently obtained a house for him, he does not live in it “because there is no furniture.” Furthermore, one of his former cellmates had also been a victim of torture that had been reported, and he does not have protection either. Regarding Walter Fabián Correa, “who reported harassment and being beaten in Almafuerte, he asked to be released, but his request was refused,” and the authorities have taken no action in relation to his suicide attempts. Regarding Andrés Yacante and Marcelo Tello Sánchez, the application for habeas corpus filed in their favor owing to the alleged beating received in the Almafuerte Unit, and orders had been issued to transfer them to the San Felipe Unit. The Commission reiterated that they are in a situation of aggravated risk, not necessarily owing to the fact that they remain detained in the place where the reported facts occurred, but rather owing to the complaint itself, which revealed what happens in the said prison units. Lastly, the Commission stated that, during the investigation into the acts of torture, it was reported that an inmate had been forced to sign a statement affirming that it was he who had obtained the mobile telephone with the films. 21. The State indicated that it had taken several measures with regard to those who had been identified as “allegedly responsible for the acts of torture and ill-treatment against the inmates of the San Felipe Prison Complex”; in particular: i) Administrative proceedings by the General Security Inspectorate, a decentralized body responsible for investigating and initiating pre-trial proceedings for administrative errors, with the consequent determination of responsibility of the members of the provincial security forces. Ten preliminary administrative procedures have been conducted, in which the opening of preliminary administrative proceedings and the application of preventive suspension or removal has been ordered for seven of the agents involved; ii) Those exercising supervisory tasks were charged and removed from their functions based on failure to comply with their control obligations; iii) Administrative case files have been opened owing to complaints received by telephone from next of kin of inmates based on newspaper articles, and owing to complaints forwarded by the Human Rights Directorate of the Ministry of Governance; 10
