2 Nelly María Ascanio, Ayda Mile Ascanio and Miriam Rosas Ascanio, and to subsequently report to the Court every two months on the status of the provisional measures. 3. The events set out in the Commission's request, in which it describes the activities of the Association of Relatives of Detainees-Disappeared Persons of Colombia (hereinafter “ASFADDES” or “the Association”) and the acts of which its members have generally been victim, are summarized as follows: a) the Association is a nongovernmental organization that brings together and supports the relatives of victims of forced disappearance in Colombia, fights against the practice of forced disappearance, and attempts to obtain reforms in Colombia's national policy in the matter. In recent months, the Association, and particularly its office in Medellín have expressed their disagreement with a number of judicial decisions that have allowed military officials, members of paramilitary and political groups to be exonerated and freed in cases of forced disappearance. Also, the National Board of Directors of ASFADDES and its offices in Medellín have widely discussed other court decisions that have established responsibility in at least one case of forced disappearance, despite the fact that the right to the truth has not been respected, inasmuch as not all the whereabouts of the disappeared persons have been established nor have all those responsible been punished; b) in May 1992, ASFADDES was described by the then Commander of the Fifth Brigade as “guerrilla sympathizers.” From then on its members have been systematically harassed and threatened; c) in 1994, during the celebration of the General Assembly of the Association, armed men took photographs of the participants of the events. This act was denounced and four men were arrested, However, the proceedings initiated by this petition were closed, since those men allegedly were working for the protection of the ASFADDES members, even if they had not been informed of this alleged protection; d) on June 2, 1994, some men that claimed to belong to the Administrative and Security Department (hereinafter “DAS”) filmed a commemorative march held by the Association; e) On December 23, 1996, an agent of the DAS visited Ms. Evidalia Chacón, a member of ASFADDES in Neiva, and requested the names of all of the members of the Board of Directors of the Association and information on FEDEFAM, a regional organization dedicated to the struggle against the practice of forced disappearances, of which the Association is a member. The agent also requested information on specific members of the Association (infra, Having Seen 4, section a). This event was denounced to the Attorney General of the Nation on February 7, 1997; f) On April 28 and 29, 1997, two members of the Intelligence Division of the Metropolitan Police of Santafé de Bogotá (hereinafter “SIPOL”) visited the offices of ASFADDES of that city in order to check the names of the organizers and the participants of the event as well as the agenda of a march the Association was planning to hold on May 29, 1997. Said information was requested again by other members of the SIPOL the day prior to the holding of said event. The Commission states that on this occasion, one of those agents was insistent in asking if students of the National University had been invited and requested an agenda for the event; supposedly in order to infiltrate members of SIPOL in the march to identify possible
