72. The family recounts that they felt harassed by the Police and, therefore, decided to abandon their home in Santa Lucía. Given that they lived outside the country, they did not take legal actions in Guatemala to determine José Miguel’s whereabouts. However, the next of kin stated that they had reported his disappearance to churches and humanitarian organizations in the United States of America, and before the United Nations. The CEH included the case of José Miguel in the section on cases “presented” in its final report, and in this regard indicated that, based on a “simple presumption,” he had been captured by presumed members of the security force and forcibly disappeared. 2. Orencio Sosa Calderón76 73. Orencio Sosa Calderón was 39 years old at the time of his disappearance; he was married and had four children. Mr. Sosa Calderón was a primary school teacher and a doctor. He worked at the Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala and in a hospital. The Diario Militar records Orencio Sosa Calderón as follows: 17. ORENCIO SOSA CALDERÓN (alias) VICENTE. Was a member of the N.D. of the PGT-PC., founder of the Party’s Medical Committee. He is responsible for helping foreign correspondents film different guerrilla fronts. 25-1083: Captured in Chimaltenango, when he was on the way to Antigua Guatemala, Sacatepéquez.

On October 24, 1983, Orencio Sosa Calderón was in the hospital and as part of his work, he operated on two victims of gunshot wounds who he did not know. His colleagues at the hospital told his family that, when the wounded men were still under the anesthetic, four men came to take them, but Mr. Sosa Calderón refused and requested a court order. The men allegedly threatened Mr. Sosa Calderón. The next day, four men with machine guns intercepted Mr. Sosa Calderón near the hospital where he worked; forced him out of his car, which they took, and put him in a white pick-up without license plates. Furthermore, some witnesses told the family that, during the operation, shots had been fired, which coincides with the entry in the Diario Militar. That same day, the wounded men on whom Mr. Sosa Calderón had operated were removed from the hospital and, as of that time, Mr. Sosa Calderón’s whereabouts are unknown. 75. Mr. Sosa Calderón’s wife and three daughters moved to Guatemala City and, on the way, they were followed by a car with armed men. Subsequently, they went to Mexico for their safety. Among other actions, the family reported the incident to the Police, the courts and the media and, in 1983, met with the Head of State, but to no avail. They also visited all the morgues in the country and the cemeteries in the municipality of Chimaltenango. 76 The evidence regarding this victim is found in: Diario Militar (file of annexes to the merits report, tome I, annex 11, folio 360); copy of the registration of the identify card of Orencio Sosa Calderón (file of annexes presented by the State on October 17, 2008, tome II, folio 6626); affidavit made by Laurenta Marina Sosa Calderón on October 18, 2004 (file of annexes to the merits report, tome I, annex 20, folios 488 and 489); affidavit made by Iris Carolina Sosa Pérez on October 21, 2004 (file of annexes to the merits report, tome I. annex 21, folios 492 and 493); testimony of Laurenta Marina Sosa Calderón filmed and authenticated on March 24, 2008 (file of annexes to the merits report, tome I, annex 22, folio 495); attestation issued by the First Instance Court of the department of Chimaltenango on June 25, 1985 (file of annexes to the merits report, tome I, annex 25, folio 505); Chimaltenango: Médico secuestrado [Doctor kidnapped], El Gráfico, October 26, 1983 (file of annexes presented by the State on October 17, 2008, tome II, folio 6528); Historical Archive of the National Police (hereinafter “AHPN”), Decision No. 07431/DIT/of.3ro.grgp, GT PN 50 S004, No. 16234, and Investigation Report of March 22, 1984, GT PN 50 S004, No. 16240 (file of annexes to the pleadings and motions brief, tome VI, annex D4, folios 11429 and 11431), and CEH, supra, volume VII, annex II, pp. 190 and 253-254. 77 According the next of kin, the photograph that appears in the Diario Militar is not of Mr. Sosa Calderón. - 27 -
