The DR media is reporting on the proceedings against the Dominican Republic at the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in San Jose, Costa Rica.

Beginning at 3pm, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights will hear the statements of the widow and children of university professor Narciso Gonzalez, "Narcisazo", who disappeared on 26 May 1994. They will also take depositions from two witnesses, one proposed by the representatives of the victims and the other automatically chosen by the Court. An expert proposed by the Inter-American Commission and the representatives of the victims will also give a statement.

In addition, the Court will hear the final allegations of the representatives of the victims and of the Dominican Republic, as well as the final observations of the Inter-American Commission. Judge Rhadys Abreu Blondet will not participate in the process because of her Dominican nationality. On 2 May 2010, the Inter-American Commission filed a lawsuit against the Dominican Republic for the alleged forceful disappearance of Narcisazo as the result of his criticisms of the military and then President of the Republic, Joaquin Balaguer, as well as his participation in the public complaint about alleged electoral fraud in the 1994 presidential elections.
