should actually look at very carefully to find out why the normal channels of justice were bypassed.  We hear you when you say that you are without a job today.  That you even lost your wife.  We share your pain in all the things that have been done to you and we will investigate the matter and try and come back to you on what you have told us today.  Thank you for coming and in the same way that you have appealed for people to come forward we appeal to those people who may even be sitting amongst us that if you have committed gross human rights violations that you should come forward and make an application for amnesty. We do have our statement takers who are in activity room 1 and if you have information to give or to share or if you want to know more about amnesty they are available to assist you.  The cry of victims right around the country is to know who did it and why they did it.  That is one of the functions of the Commission, to find out who did it and why they did it.  We thank you for coming today to tell us what happened to you.
