5 said [; ...] they do not even move or breathe, but who can tell us that this white blindness is not precisely a misfortune of the spirit, and, if it is, lets assume from this hypothesis, that the spirits of those blind persons have never been as free as they are now, outside their bodies and therefore free to do whatever they want, especially evil, which, as if of general knowledge, has always been easier for it to do." 11 18. Is this is a description of the consequences of the armed attack against the Prison of Castro Castro? Even though, prima facie, it would seem so, it is not; it is instead of the allegory of the “epidemic outbreak of white blindness " of José Saramago, 12 who adds: "The moral conscience, offended by so many fools and to which so many others have renounced, is something that exists and that has already existed, it is not just an invention of the philosophers of the Quaternary, when the soul was merely a confusing project. With the passing of time, (…) we end up putting the conscience in the color of blood and the salt of tears, and as if this were not enough, we turned the eyes into a species of mirrors turned inside out, with the result that, they end up showing, many times without reserve, what we were trying to deny with the mouth." 13 19. To the penetrating messages of the allegories of A. Camus on the plague, and of J. Saramango on blindness, I would allow myself to add a very brief deliberation, brought about by the facts of the present case. From the debris of the bombing on the Prison of Castro Castro, from the devastation of the armed attack perpetrated against its defenseless inmates between the days of May 06 and 09, 1992, from the blood of its victims piled up one on top of the other, from the brutalities prolonged in time, from the damages caused to the inmates’ eyes by the splinters (fragmentation weapons) and the gases, - of this entire massacre without pity, arises the human conscience declared and symbolized today in the monument “The Eye that Cries”, 14 in acknowledgment of the suffering of the victims and as an expression of solidarity to them. 20. Solidarity and, through the present Judgment of this Court, justice, finally triumphed over criminal victimization. Today “The Eye that Cries” defies the passing of time, or intends to do so, as a sign of regret for the eyes that burned or were perforated in the Prison of Castro Castro, and as a lesson that everyone must persevere in the search of their own redemption. Given the finite nature of existential time, there are those that seek their improvement through the expressions of the spirit. In the present case, “The Eye that Cries” proves it. As stated by Stefan Zweig in an essay of 1938, with his characteristic sensibility, the “mystery of artistic creation” offers the “indescribable moment” in which “the worldly limitation of the perishable ends in us humans and the perennial starts." 15 21. In this case of the Prison of Castro Castro, the cruelty of the facts caused by the State agents effectively goes beyond the wings of imagination. As summarized by one of the testimonies offered before this Court, to be under that bombing was “like hell”. 16 It should not go by without being noticed that, who presented the facts . J.
