yellowish area of eechymosis five by three centimeters at its widest dimensions; in the right
lateral region of the thorax we see two rounded areas of eechymosis, three centimeters in
diameter each and another one elongated two and a half by one centimeter at its widest
dimension, all of them slightly yellowish colored. He feels pain in the left lateral region of the
thorax upon deep pressing, though no exterior trace of trauma is visible. The injuries
described, which are in a final process of reabsorption, because they were inflicted more or
less eight days earlier, are from the traumatic action of a hard blunt body and abuses received
which prompted three days of illness and physical incapacity to be counted from the day it
was caused, but we must note that they are painful and stressful. 52

With regard to Mr. Eusebio Domingo Revelles, it was reported that:
He recounts that around eight days ago he was the victim of torture from different methods in the
Offices of INTERPOL by investigators. He was subjected to night time cold baths, they held him on his
knees for around five hours, with his arms raised, his calves and feet were stepped on and, consequently,
he claims to have vomited blood on several occasions and that he stills suffers from epigastric pain for
injuries received in the abdomen. […] In the right hemithorax there are three areas of yellowish
ecchymosis measuring three by two, one and a half by two and two centimeters respectively at their
widest dimension; in the posterior face of the right hemithorax there is an area of ecchymosis three and
a half by two and a half centimeters at its widest dimension; in the superior third of the right leg, there is
a slightly visible yellowish area of ecchymosis two and a half centimeters in diameter. All of these
injuries are in the final process of reabsorption, that is to say, that they had to have been inflicted more
or less around eight days earlier, they are from the traumatic action of a hard blunt body and abuses
received which prompted three days of illness and physical incapacity to be counted from the day it was
caused, but also constitute impactful psychological traumas. A photograph is attached.53

With regard to Jorge Eliecer Herrera Espinoza, it was reported that:
He recounts that eight days earlier he was the victim of multiple traumas at the INTERPOL
offices by their investigators. […] He complains of suffering post traumatic cephalea; the right
lower eyelid shows ecchymosis; purplish colored; he complains of pain on the right side of the
chin; in the right lateral region of the thorax, from top to bottom, there are four areas of
ecchymosis from contusion, yellowish green in color, measuring respectively five by two, four
and one half by three, two and a half by one and a half, and three by three centimeters at their
widest dimensions; in the left lateral region of the thorax, we see two greenish yellow areas of
ecchymosis, four by two and three by one and a half centimeters in their widest dimensions;
on posterior external face of the right elbow joint, there is an area with contusions, violaceous
ecchymosis seven by three centimeters in its widest dimensions; an area of violaceous
ecchymosis fourteen by five centimeters long at its widest dimension extends downward from
the anterior face of the superior third of the right forearm to the inferior third and is painful to
the touch; on the posterior face of the superior third of the left thigh, there is an area of
ecchymosis six by three centimeters long at its widest dimensions; on the anterior face of the
right leg, we see two scarred excoriations, the scabs of one half and one centimeter in
diameter respectively, which are breaking off. He complains of suffering abdominal pain and
frequent nausea, as a result of beating that he claims to have received at said level, but we did
not ascertain any detectable external traces. The injuries described are from the traumatic
action of a hard blunt body and abuses received which prompted four and no more than eight
days of illness and physical incapacity, to be counted from the day it was caused, which based
on the characteristics thereof, were inflicted, more or less eight days earlier.54
