CHAIRPERSON
The factual issue, the present situation is that you must argue and we'll listen to your argument or read your argument and make a decision.  One must always bear in mind that one of the crucial aspects in determining whether amnesty must be granted or not is the position of the applicant himself.  The evidence of witnesses are not really taken into consideration to make those crucial decisions.  The best witnesses can do is to fortify versions maybe but to really clarify the issues that's the applicant's job, after all he makes the application and I would like that your argument will have to carry a lot of weight then, quite honestly.
