119 b) Consequential damages 253. Taking into account the claims of the parties, the body of evidence, the proven facts in the instant case and its own case law, the Court finds that compensation for material damage in the instant case must also include the following: 1) with respect to Helen Mack Chang, sister of the victim, it has been proven that as a consequence of the extra-legal death of her sister, she undertook the task of searching for justice, for over thirteen years, through her active participation in the criminal proceeding to investigate the facts and to identify and punish all those responsible. Helen Mack Chang gave up her work as a consequence of the facts discussed in the instant case, established the Myrna Mack Foundation, and has spent much of her time struggling against impunity. The Court deems that Helen Mack Chang stopped receiving her customary income as a consequence of the facts and bearing in mind the specific circumstances of the sub judice case, in fairness, it sets the amount of compensation at US$25,000.00 (twenty-five thousand United States dollars); 2) as regards the father and the daughter of the victim, it has been proven that due to the extra-legal death of Myrna Mack Chang and of the consequences stemming from this fact, they suffered various physical and psychological illnesses, for which they had to receive medical treatment. Therefore, the Court deems it pertinent to set US$3,000.00 (three thousand United States dollars) as compensation for medical expenses incurred by Yam Mack Choy and US$3,000.00 (three thousand United States dollars) for Lucrecia Hernández Mack, for this same item. Since Yam Mack Choy passed away on April 24, 1999, compensation in his favor must be paid in full to Zoila Chang Lau; and 254. Based on all the above, the Court sets as compensation for material damage due to the violations found, the following amounts: REPARATIONS FOR PECUNIARY DAMAGE Lost Consequen Medical earnings tial expenses damages incurred Myrna Mack Chang US$235,000. 00 Lucrecia US$3,000.00 Hernández Mack (daughter) Yam Mack Choy US$3,000.00 (the father) Helen Mack Chang US$25,000.
