Currently, there are: (i) three individuals accused of the crime of torture; (ii) one individual charged with the offense of harsh and humiliating treatment; (iii) one individual charged with the crime of torture compounded by the offense of harsh and humiliating treatment, and (iv) two individuals charged with the offense of omissions in the performance of their functions, which allowed the torture to occur. These seven individuals are currently detained, based on the justified fear that, owing to their condition of prison agents, they could obstruct the investigation.” vi) In its last report, the State specified that the agent accused of the offense of harsh and humiliating treatment had been released and that the other six agents were located in Prison Unit No. 6 of the Boulogne Sur Mer Complex.
