The case of the Restrepo brothers is a case of forced disappearance and violation of human rights that took place in Ecuador in 1988 during the presidency of León Febres-Cordero. It has been described as a state crime:[1][2]
Éste es uno de los casos emblemáticos de la violación de los derechos humanos en el Ecuador en las últimas décadas y ha sido catalogado como un crimen de Estado no solo por el tipo de delito agravado cometido (detención, tortura, ejecución extrajudicial y desaparición forzada de dos menores de edad) sino por los esfuerzos concertados de la institución policial para engañar, ocultar la verdad, encubrir e intentar que quedara en la impunidad. [a]
The case started with the disappearance of brothers Carlos Santiago and Pedro Andrés Restrepo Arismendi, who were born in Quito in 1971 and 1974, respectively. At the time of their disappearance, they were 17 and 14 years old. They came from a wealthy family, and their parents, Pedro Restrepo and Luz Helena Arismendi, were Colombians who had been living in Ecuador for 20 years. The bodies of the brothers have never been found.
