Yes, it's been brought to my attention by Advocate Bosman that the applicants have all been applying for amnesty mainly in regard to the offence of assault.  If one takes a look at the definition of gross human rights violations as contained in the Act, it talks about assault being one where there has been serious injury but it also specifically refers to torture.  Now we all know that torture always involves an assault of some form or another but one would imagine that they've identified torture separately from assault to include torture even if there hasn't been serious physical injury so are there any submissions?  If the applications were to succeed should it be granted in respect of assault or should the word torture be involved.
