22 (i) María Magdalena Galeano Rotela, companion of Benjamín Ramírez Villalba María Magdalena Galeano Rotela stated that she was Benjamín Ramírez Villalba’s companion and that they “lived together […] before the detentions and the search of [their] house occurred.” She declared that Benjamín Ramírez Villalba “was detained in the street by heavily armed [men, who immediately took him] handcuffed and at gunpoint to the house where [they] lived.” The witness stated that the men “burst into [their] house, took [her] by the hair […] and sat [her] down beside Mr. Villalba [who was in a car. The men] pointed guns at [them].” She stated that, subsequently, they were taken to the Investigations Department, where she heard the cries of Benjamín Ramírez Villalba, who was “being tortured.” Mrs. Galeano Rotela also declared that she “heard and saw when […] they tortured [her companion whose] feet were shackled and hands handcuffed.” She said that six months after their detention, in the presence of Benjamín Ramírez Villalba, she was subjected “to torture with blows from a saber; they threw icy water at [her …], and threatened to rape [her].” That was the last time she saw her companion. The witness stated that she “suffered greatly, […she] missed [Benjamín Ramírez Villalba, she], dreamed of him and looked for him, [and] was never able to live with anyone again.” She also stated that she is “afraid [and] live[s] alone.” She indicated that she suffers from “nightmares, anxiety crises, anguish [and] has difficulty eating.” She stated that she “feel[s] powerless and frustrated [and that she] ha[s] been receiving psychological treatment for years.” María Magdalena Galeano Rotela stated that she has not received any information about what happened to her companion from the Paraguayan authorities. She also expressed her wish that “the facts should be investigated and clarified so as to end impunity.” In addition, she considered that “the State should be required to make all necessary resources available to investigate and clarify [the facts,] to find […] those who are still disappeared, and to vindicate their memory publicly, especially that of [Benjamín Ramírez Villalba]; also to create a genetic database.” (j) Rosa Mujica Giménez, sister of Agustín Goiburú Giménez The witness stated that she was detained in December 1970 “as a hostage, because she was Dr. Agustín Goiburú’s sister.” She indicated that, subsequently, she “was taken to a cell [where she met] her mother, Olegaria Giménez, [who had been] detained and imprisoned.” Mrs. Mujica Giménez stated that she was interrogated and tortured until the following day and this continued some days later, “with blows and accusations of being [her] brother’s accomplice.” She also stated that her torturers “turned on a radio at full volume so that no one could hear [her] cries for help during the terrible ordeal to which [she] was subjected.” Mrs. Mujica Giménez declared that, after she had been transferred to a police station, she realized that she “was pregnant with her daughter Yolanda, […who] was born with the help of fellow prisoners in the cell […] without help from any authority or anyone to assist [her].” She also stated that “everything [she] endured and suffered still causes problems of different kinds with grave effects on [her] physical and mental health and that of [her] daughters Yolanda and Marión Esperanza.” These problems include: the psychological problems of herself, her daughters and her grandson, problems with her hearing owing to the blows on her ears, and renal problems, “caused by the blows.”
