MR DONAN
They are, the Committee will recall that on the previous occasions that I was here and I cross-examined Mr Benzien I cross-examined in relation to crimes against humanity and the crime of torture and I put to him that when he was testifying at the trial of Tony Yengeni it was specifically put to him by counsel who led me, De Villiers QC, that charges of crimes against humanity were being laid or had been laid against him abroad, because while he could not be prosecuted in this country he had committed an international crime and if he ever, the purpose being if he ever stepped over the borders of this country he would be prosecuted for that crime.  And he was given an opportunity before the cross-examination continued to take legal advice and to decide whether he wished to continue to give evidence because he was warned in terms of the common law that what he said could be used one day to incriminate him.  That is what I put to him and he acknowledged more-or-less that that arose and he acknowledged that he then elected to continue to testify, without legal representation he continued to lie, and he was not clear as to whether or not he continued to perpetrate torture.
	What I am proposing to hand in, for the sake of clarity, is the document which was directed to the general secretary of the anti-apartheid movement by my attorneys at the time requesting steps to be taken in London to make it impossible for Mr Benzien ever to leave this country without being prosecuted for the international crime of torture.  
	It is relevant to the attitude that my clients are taking to Mr Benzien and we say that Mr Benzien's case is an individual case in the sense that he was warned that there was such a crime and he took a particular course of action after that.
