The loss of his daughter “broke any future work or family life project,[…] She was the only
girl.” Besides, they “expected to have other sources of income.”
[“His daughter’s disappearance caused] a collective sadness, to the whole family, the
household, her aunts and uncles, even to their neighbors, as they would not see her come
back any more.”
Justice has been done “partially” since the masterminds are free. Nevertheless, the
“macabre truth has been undisclosed”
[“His sorrow] would only be alleviated if the perpetrators and masterminds are given an
exemplary punishment.” He requested the Court to order that scientific examinations be
carried out on the bones found, so that he could identify and be given some of the remains
of his daughter. Finally, he requested the Court to order the State to grant him “adequate
moral and monetary compensations [and] that justice be done.”

Rosario Carpio Cardoso-Figueroa, brother of Juan José Mariños-Figueroa
When he knew about his brother’s detention he “consulted a friend who served in the police
force, and who accompanied him to different places, [but] with no results.” His friend told
him that the procedure of abducting students was typical of the army; the police did not
abduct and keep them under custody. Their method was to kill them[. T]ime proved his
friend was right.” His parents, who lived in the hills, did not know of his brother’s
disappearance until three months later. For them and all his siblings “it was the saddest and
most dramatic news in all their lives.”
After his brother’s disappearance he spent nearly two years abroad, in Argentina. He left
“because he felt a strange atmosphere, he lived in fear of being abducted at any time, he
was afraid because he also studied in La Cantuta, his brother was missing, his sister was
said to have bombs [.] Then he heard that his brother was […] dead […]. At that time [he
felt] a terrible grief. During those years, he had never cried as he did that day.” His
brother’s disappearance “changed his life,[ his family’s life, his] siblings and he himself
stopped studying and the family disintegrated as such.”
He requested the Court to do justice and to give a monetary compensation to his brother’s
father and mother and free medical care to all the members of the family.
