-23The witness began to look for his brother immediately after his disappearance through a committee which filed reports before the authorities. The members also “occupied peacefully” the Turbo mayor’s office. Subsequently, Mr. López Cuadro took part in the exhumation of some corpses in Montería. In this regard, he said that “the impression one receives is so immense, that there is no way to explain it; to see a mound of massacred and decomposed bodies and to think that one’s brother could be among them, makes one despair.” He stated that “it is quite different […] to know that they killed your brother and that he is in the cemetery, rather than, in this case, when one does not know where he is, or where he was killed.” He just wants “someone to tell him truthfully [where his brother] is.” He said that when they are called to take part in exhumations he “become[s] optimistic thinking that there is a possibility of finding his brother” but, when he does not find him he “feel[s] greater anguish, and the pain is even more profound.” Neither the witness nor his family has been called upon to make a statement.

He said that his mother “was greatly affected by the disappearance [of his brother] and has suffered immensely. Her health has also suffered a great deal due to all this.” Finally, Manuel Dolores López Cuadro said that he wants “those responsible to be punished and […] non-pecuniary reparation for [his family], for the community, and for the country […] and to be able to find the remains. He needs the [State] to ensure their safety and provide them with support so they can work without interference from the paramilitary groups or the guerrilla.” j) Robinson Petro Pérez, son of José Manuel Petro Hernández The day of the facts, Robinson Petro Pérez was listening to the service outside the Presbyterian Church. When he heard about the presence of armed men, he went into hiding; when he returned home from his hiding place, he realized that they had taken his father, a brother of his mother called Benito Pérez, and Luis Miguel Salgado, who lived with his sister. The father of Robinson Petro Pérez, who was a farmer and sold beer in a store, was at home. The witness stated that his father “was taken by the members of the
