MARY BURTON
I would like to also to thank both of you for coming.  The stories that you have told is a very famous and important one in our  history.  And it's good that the young people should be reminded of what happened in 1960's to all of you.  I'd just like to tell you and others, or remind you and others, that when your case came to Court, before Mr Justice Theron, he was very angry that the case had been brought against you and he said that the spy who was known as X54, the one you have spoken about, had been the center of the whole State case.
And that under cross examination it had become apparent that his answers were quite clearly false and that he was prepared to tell lies.  He admitted that he had lied during a similar trial in Port Elizabeth and the judge said, and I quote his words  It made a person shudder to think that some one, like X54, could be placed in a position  where he had an interest in the arrest of members of the public.  
And I just think of the affect on the lives of those people who, together with you, were charged in that way.  And who had to spend more that a year in prison while you were waiting, only in the end to be released and acquitted of all charges.  So, thank you for coming to tell us about this.  I don't know it you know of the affect - you have told us about the affect on your own lives but of the affect  on the lives of the other members of your group  who went through the same experience with you.
