47 116. This Tribunal acknowledges the situation that Mrs. Teresa Reyes Reyes, partner of the alleged victim, and the children of both and of Mr. Reyes Reyes went through. As a consequence of the detention of Mr. López Álvarez for more than six years, Mrs. Reyes Reyes assumed the responsibility of taking care of her family without the support of her partner; she had three pregnancies while the alleged victim was detained, and she suffered the precarious conditions of the penitentiary centers when she visited Mr. Alfredo López Álvarez; this situation turned worse when the alleged victim was transferred to the National Penitentiary of Támara. The children of Mr. López Álvarez and Mrs. Reyes Reyes, as well as those of the latter, have not had a father figure and have suffered the emotional and economic consequences of the situation the alleged victim was submitted to. Mrs. Reyes Reyes stated before the Court that her children are anxious and traumatized (supra paras. 40(1)(b), 40(1)(c), 54(5), 54(52), and 54(53)). 117. This Tribunal considers that it has been reasonably proven that the other children of Mr. Alfredo López Álvarez, as well as the parents of the alleged victim, were affected by what happened to Mr. López Álvarez in the present case, since they suffered for more than six years due to the prison conditions and the arbitrary nature of the detention suffered by the alleged victim (supra paras. 54(5), 54(6), and 54(53)). 118. Likewise, the Court considers as proven that there has been a bond of closelessness with four sisters and one of the brothers of Mr. López Álvarez, especially because Alba Luz, Rina Maribel, Marcia Migdali, and Joel Enrique, all with the surnames García Álvarez, visited their brother while he was detained in Tela and Támara, and they knew the prison conditions suffered by him (supra paras. 54(6) and 54(53)). 119. This Court has mentioned that the next of kin of the victims of violations of human rights may be, at the same time, victims. It has considered as violated the right to mental and moral integrity of the next of kin of the victims for the suffering caused by the violations perpetrated against their loved ones and the subsequent actions or omissions of the state authorities.97 In consideration of that exposed, this Tribunal considers that the personal integrity of specific family members of Mr. López Álvarez has been affected. 120. The previous consideration lead the Court to conclude that the State is responsible for the violation of the right to personal integrity enshrined in Article 5(1) of the American Convention, in relation with Article 1(1) of said treaty, in detriment of Mrs. Teresa Reyes Reyes, partner of Mr. López Álvarez; of Alfa Barauda López Reyes, Suamein Alfred López Reyes, and Gustavo Narciso López Reyes, children of Mrs. Reyes Reyes and Mr. López Álvarez; of Alfred Omaly López Suazo, Deikel Yanell López Suazo, Iris Tatiana López Bermúdez, José Álvarez Martínez, and Joseph López Harolstohn, children of the alleged victim, and of José Jaime Reyes Reyes, and María Marcelina Reyes Reyes, children of Mrs. Teresa Reyes Reyes, who will also be considered children of the alleged victim; of Apolonia Álvarez Aranda and Catarino López, parents of Mr. López Álvarez, and of his sisters and his brother: Alba Luz, Rina Maribel, Marcia Migdali, Mirna Suyapa, and Joel Enrique, all with the surnames García Álvarez. 97 Cf.
