Ms. Bedoya asked them to take her to Bogotá with them, but this request was denied because the Director of the Police had given the order that the police be in charge of transporting her to Bogotá. 121 According to Ms. Bedoya, a military commander told her that there had been an "internal dispute because the police wanted to show [her] off as a person rescued by them." 122 The next day, she was transported to Bogotá and admitted to the Police Clinic, where the Director of the Police and the Minister of Defense visited her. 123 She was under medical observation for four days, during which time she underwent a series of medical examinations, including a gynecological examination, sampling of bodily fluids, and blood, urine, and toxicological tests. 124 The samples taken were taken for analysis to the Institute of Forensic Medicine. 125 63.
