MR LAX
Through you, Chairperson.  My name is Ilan Lax.  I'm an attorney from Pietermaritzburg.  Like my colleague Ntsiki Sandi, I was a member of the Human Rights Violations Committee until I was appointed to the Amnesty Committee.  Like my other colleague, Mr Sibanyoni, I'm quite new on the Amnesty Committee, but I wouldn't hesitate to suggest my voice was very distinctive, although I seem to, some people seem to think my manner is quite distinctive.  I think that's enough time spent on this.
