the investigation in which the alleged victim took part was a major source of information for a report published in January 2000 by the United Nation's Special Rapporteur on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography, following his visit to Guatemala. The Rapporteur's report attracted considerable publicity shortly before Mayra went missing.80 It added that further factors suggesting that her disappearance may have been politically motivated were that she had had a brother and a sister who were political activists that disappeared in the 1980s.81 65. Amnesty International also said that Ms. Gutié rrez was listed on a Guatemalan military intelligence database compiled during the 1980s that was made public on May 7, 2000, by the then-Secretary of Strategic Affairs of the Presidency.82 It said that he had found the list on a government computer, and published it “to deflect criticism after killings of protestors in the capital in April 2000.”83 Amnesty said that the list of “suspected subversives” contained the names of 650,428 people, each with a code number apparently referring to their status.84 66. On June 1, 2000, the Ninth Court of First Instance for Criminal Matters, Drug Trafficking and Environmental Crimes announced that the whereabouts of Ms. Gutiérrez had not been determined in the framework of the habeas corpus petition.85 Consequently, it ruled that "the organ responsible for criminal prosecutions should conduct the necessary investigation into the disappearance of Ms. Mayra Angelina Gutiérrez.”86 67. On June 2, 2000, the Office of the Human Rights Ombudsman received a signed report from the General Directorate of Migration stating with respect to Ms. Gutiérrez that there was "no record of any migratory movements for her ... during the period since April 6 of this year.”87 68. On June 8, 2000, authorities and faculty at the Psychology School of San Carlos University sent another communication to the Constitutional President of the Republic saying, “[M]ore than two months have passed since [Mayra's disappearance] and there is still no concrete information on the matter.”88 That same day, they informed the Director of the National Civil Police that they were "concerned at receiving no news from the agency under his command or from the Public Prosecution Service.”89 Subsequently, on June 19, 2000, they again requested the Director of the National Civil Police to intervene in the case.90 In that request they added that in statements to a media outlet the Director of the National Civil Police had said that 80 Annex 5.
