37 Dollars). Such amount shall be paid as follows: US $30,000.00 (thirty thousand United States Dollars) to Mr. Wilson Gutiérrez-Soler, US $30,000.00 (thirty thousand United States Dollars) to Mr. Ricardo Gutiérrez-Soler and US $15,000.00 (fifteen thousand United States Dollars) to Mrs. María Elena Soler de Gutiérrez, as established in paragraph 70 of this Judgment. C) NON PECUNIARY DAMAGE Argument by the Commission 79. The Commission contended that: a) Mr. Wilson Gutiérrez-Soler’s medical and psychiatric examinations prove that he suffered and continues suffering from severe physical and psychological consequences of the tortures inflicted on him during his false arrest; b) repetitive, public questioning of Mr. Wilson Gutiérrez-Soler’s credibility, character and the motives leading him to report facts, arising from the way national courts handled the case, resulted in depression and symptoms of phobia; distorting his motivation and cognition, and aggravating the psychological damage resulting from the events of August 24, 1994; c) violations of the rights of Mr. Wilson Gutiérrez-Soler’s family have caused them pain and suffering. The arrest and the events that followed it caused them suffering and anguish, which were worsened by persistent impunity, as well as by the risky position and the harrassment Wilson’s parents and his brother were made to suffer; and d) in view of the most serious circumstances of the case, the intense pain inflicted and the alterations of the conditions in which the victims and their next of kin lived, the Commission requests said persons be paid, on equitable grounds, compensation for non pecuniary damages.

The representatives argued that: a) Mr. Wilson Gutiérrez-Soler’s moral damage results from the violation of his right to humane treatment, by inflicting on him moral, physical, and psychological pain.
