A/HRC/45/CRP.11 754. As of the time of writing, Mr. Jaimes continued to await trial, with precautionary measures including monthly presentation at court and a prohibition on leaving the country. He continued to suffer from psychological symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and physical trauma. 755. The Mission contacted the Government requesting a status update in this case on 7 August 2020. At the time of writing, it had not received a response. Findings 756. Based on the facts above, the Mission has reasonable grounds to believe that Inés González, Lessi Marcano, Ginette Hernández, and Pedro Jaimes Criollo were subject to arbitrary arrest and detention. 757. In addition, the Mission has reasonable grounds to believe that acts of torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment were committed against Mr. Marcano and Mr. Jaimes Criollo. In the case of Mr. Jaimes Criollo, the Mission has reasonable grounds to believe that acts of sexual violence in the form of threats of rape were also committed as part of the acts of torture. 758. SEBIN officers were involved in the arbitrary arrests, detentions, and in the torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. In the case of Ms. González, SEBIN’s Strategic Investigations section in Maracaibo coordinated with the Strategic Investigation division in Caracas for her arrest and detention. In the case of Mr. Jaimes Criollo, the CounterIntelligence Directorate of SEBIN was involved in his arbitrary arrest, detention and acts of torture. 759. The Mission also has reasonable grounds to believe that the conditions of detention in El Helicoide facilities, where these individuals were held, amount to a violation of the prohibition of torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. B. Cases involving DGCIM CASE 13: Captain Luis de la Sotta and others 760. Captain Luis de la Sotta was a Second Commander of the Eighth Marine Command Brigade (BRICOMAR), Special Operations Unit of the Navy (UOPE).
