21 (f) Ana Elizabeth Mancuello Bareiro, sister of Carlos José Mancuello Bareiro The witness stated that her brother was “the person who kept the family together” and that, following his disappearance, they “were never the same. [They] survived, but [they] did not live as [they] had up until then.” She declared that she had been a witness and victim of the “humiliations and physical punishment perpetrated by those responsible for the security agencies” where she went with her mother to seek her brother. She stated that her mother suffers from “various physical ailments […] and that [her] siblings [have] suffered psychological problems that prevent them from living a normal life.” The witness also indicated that “while [her] brother was in prison, all the members of [her] nuclear family had to work to […] pay for the basic needs of [her] niece, Claudia Anahí.” Finally, Mrs. Mancuello Bareiro requested other forms of reparation, guarantees of non-repetition and satisfaction. (g) Gladys Meilinger de Sannemann, former detainee in the Investigations Department Mrs. Meilinger de Sannemann stated that, while she was detained, she got to know Carlos José Mancuello Bareiro, Rodolfo Ramírez Villalba and Benjamín Ramírez Villalba, who were in a cell near hers, from where she “could observe the scars they had all over their bodies owing to the torture to which they were subjected.” She also said that she “knows that they were brutally tortured [… and that,] from what [she] heard from other detainees, [Carlos José Mancuello Bareiro, Rodolfo Ramírez Villalba and Benjamín Ramírez Villalba] were submerged in tanks, baths full of dirty water and excrement from those tortured before them until they passed out.” She also stated that she “knew about […] the abduction and forced disappearance of Dr. Agustín Goiburú.” (h) Ricardo Andrés Lugo Rodríguez, former detainee in the Investigations Department The witness declared that he knew Carlos José Mancuello Bareiro and Rodolfo and Benjamín Ramírez Villalba because they were “deprived of their liberty [with him] and taken to the place where the Investigations Department operated.” He stated that “the physical […] and psychological resistance [of the three men] was destroyed by the henchmen of the dictatorship […] following the different kinds of torture to which they were subjected.” He also stated “that the Ramírez brothers and Carlos Mancuello were physically abused by Pastor Coronel himself with heavy objects, clubs, and his own “teyúruguay,” which cut the skin with every blow because it had a metal point, […] not to mention more than a month of torture in the ‘tank’, where apart from being submerging in water, they were clubbed on their lower extremities, […] added to which a magneto was used to produce an intense noise in their ears.” He declared “that the last time [he saw them] alive […] was on August 13, 1975”; later, he heard “that on the eve of September 21, 1976 […] they were murdered in the Investigations Department”.
