On October 5, 1973, the following individuals were forcibly disappeared at the hands of Ejército (Army) personnel:

Jorge Luis OJEDA JARA, 20 years old, student leader and militant of the Partido Socialista (Socialist Party). He was arrested in Melipilla on September 16, 1973, along with Jorge Cornejo Carvajal, Patricio Rojas González, and others; he was transferred to Campamento Nº 2, where he arrived in a deteriorated physical state due to the torture received during his detention in Melipilla.

His state of health worsened during his detention in Tejas Verdes due to the mistreatment received there.

Florindo Alex VIDAL HINOJOSA, 25 years old, road worker in San Antonio and militant of the Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria (MIR), was arrested by a military patrol on September 27, 1973, along with other people, and transferred to the Campamento de Prisioneros Nº 2 Tejas Verdes. His body appeared in the waters of the Rapel River.

Víctor Fernando MESINA ARAYA, 25 years old, bakery worker, militant of the Partido Socialista, was arrested by Ejército personnel at his home on September 27, 1973, and transferred to the Campo de Prisioneros Tejas Verdes. His lifeless body was found in the Rapel River.

Luis Fernando NORAMBUENA FERNANDOY, 31 years old, Councilman of San Antonio, Regional Secretary of the Central Unica de Trabajadores (CUT), and militant of the Partido Socialista. He had presented himself voluntarily to military authorities after being summoned via a military decree.

During the days he remained detained in the San Antonio Jail, he was kept incommunicado by order of the Military Prosecutor's Office.

Ceferino del Carmen SANTIS QUIJADA, 31 years old, union leader, militant of the Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria (MIR), was arrested on September 12, 1973.

Gustavo Manuel FARIAS VARGAS, 23 years old, collector for the San Antonio Sanitation Works, militant of the Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria (MIR), had presented himself voluntarily to the authorities following the call of a military decree.

It has been established before this Commission that these individuals, following their arrest or voluntary surrender, were transferred to Campamento Nº 2, where they were held in a state of absolute incommunicado detention.

On the night of October 5, 1973, all of them were loaded into a refrigerated-type truck driven by military personnel. They never returned to the prisoner camp. Unlike the detainees Ojeda, Mesina, and Vidal, whose lifeless bodies appeared on the morning of October 6, 1973, on the banks of the Rapel River with signs of severe blows to the frontal area of the head, the fate of Norambuena, Santis, and Farías has not been determined as of the date of this Report.

However, the latest information gathered by this Commission from the Legal Medical Institute indicates that they would also have death registrations recorded on that same day, October 5.

After analyzing the gathered evidence, the Commission reached the conviction that Jorge Ojeda, Florindo Vidal, Víctor Mesina, Luis Norambuena, Ceferino Santis, and Gustavo Farías were executed by military personnel belonging to the staff of the Escuela de Ingenieros Militares Tejas Verdes, who violated their right to life. This conviction is based on the following evidence:

– The detention of all of them was verified, as well as their confinement in Campamento de Prisioneros Nº 2 and the Escuela de Ingenieros Militares, where they were kept together and separated from the rest of the detainees;

– It was established that the six detainees were loaded into the same truck and that none of them returned to the prisoner camp;

– The verbal response given to most of the families, claiming that they had been released, is implausible, given the circumstance that three of them were found "dead by immersion" in the Rapel River, according to their respective death certificates, and that the other three have remained forcibly disappeared to this date.
