107 261. The Court notes that there is not conclusive evidence in the records of the case that may allow the accurate determination of the earnings of the victims generated by the activities they developed at the time of their detention. In that respect, and considering the pension that Urcesino Ramírez-Rojas has been receiving and the research activities that he had been conducting before his detention, as well as the circumstances and characteristics of the instant case, the Court awards, in equity, the amount of US $ 30,000.00 (thirty thousand U.S. dollars) as compensation for loss of income, to be paid to Urcesino Ramírez-Rojas. 262. As regards Wilson García-Asto, the Court considers, pursuant to the acknowledgement of facts prior to September 2000 made by the State (supra paras. 52 to 60) and to the evidence submitted in the instant case, that it is proven that at the time of his detention he was completing his studies in systems engineering and that he would possibly graduate in 1996, and that at the time the facts occurred he did not have a stable job, but worked occasionally as a teacher and transcribed documents with a computer to get some money. In view of the aforesaid, Wilson García-Asto must receive a compensation for the earnings he would have received during the year after his detention, as well as for the earnings he would have earned as a systems engineer during his early professional years in Peru, covering the period of time from the moment of his detention up to his acquittal. Therefore, the Court awards, in equity, the amount of US $ 35,000.00 (thirty-five thousand U.S. dollars) as compensation for loss of income, to be paid to Wilson García-Asto. b) Consequential damages 263. Taking into consideration the information received, the prior decisions of the Court, and the facts of the instant case, this Court considers that compensation for consequential damages must also include the monthly expenses incurred by the victims and their next of kin during detention to cover meals and other personal expenses, as well as traveling expenses incurred by the next of kin to visit them at the different penitentiaries where they were detained. In that respect, the Court deems it appropriate to award, in equity, the amount of US $ 10,000.00 (ten thousand U.S. dollars) to be paid to each of the victims, Wilson García-Asto and Urcesino RamírezRojas, as compensation for consequential damages. C) NON PECUNIARY DAMAGE Arguments of the Commission 264. As regards non pecuniary damage, the Commission pointed out the following: a) Wilson García-Asto’s next of kin “experience[d] deep moral suffering due to his arrest, trial, and conviction for the charges stated hereinabove, and for the detention conditions and the restricted visitation regime […] to which he was subjected. The family background and the emotional condition of the family members was so deeply affected that his siblings Elisa and Gustavo were unable to complete their studies, and suffered from depression and emotional distress. In spite of this, they visited their brother and supported their mother Celia who undertook responsibility for his defense;” and
