According to the reports, they were arrested by members of the security forces between 26 September and 2 October 1993, apparently under suspicion of links with the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF). They were believed to be held at the Hurso "re-education camp" near Dire Dawa, a former military training camp used since late 1991 as a detention centre for alleged OLF members. Fears were expressed that they might be subjected to torture. Guatemala Information transmitted to the Government and replies received 237. By letter dated 26 August 1993 the Special Rapporteur transmitted to the Government the following cases of torture that had allegedly occurred in the country: (a) Pablo Itzep Hernández, Cruz Luz Hernández and Manuel Batén Hernández, peasants from the community of Xequiquel, Chiul, municipality of Cunén, department of El Quiché, and members of the "Runujel Junam" Council of Ethnic Communities (CERJ) were summoned to the military detachment of Chiul on 8 May 1993. Upon arrival at the detachment they were reportedly subjected to interrogation under torture for four hours. Among other forms of torture they were reportedly kicked in the face and poked with pieces of burning wood. As a result of their injuries they had to be hospitalized after their release. (b) Santiago Cabrera López and Anastasia López Calvo, alleged members of the National Revolutionary Unit of Guatemala, were arrested by members of the G-2 Military Intelligence Service in March 1991 near Colima I, San Pablo, department of San Marcos. They were taken to the military detachment of El Porvenir, San Pablo, where they were reportedly beaten severely. Cabrera López was reportedly thrown into a pit and subjected to electric shocks. (c) Julio César Reyes, a street child, was arrested on 14 March 1993 in zone 1, Guatemala City, by two policemen who asked for his identity documents. As he was unable to produce them, the policemen tried to take him to the police station, and Julio Cézar Reyes resisted their attempts. One of the policemen reportedly burned him on the left arm and fingers, producing a total of 29 burns. (d) Sergio Fernando Archila, student, was arrested on 3 August 1992 on 6th Avenue, Guatemala City, by agents of the G-2 Military Intelligence Service who blindfolded him and took him to an unidentified military detention centre located near Cobán, Alta Verapaz. While under interrogation he was reportedly burned with cigarettes, his head was covered with a hood soaked in insecticide and he was punched in the stomach.
