CHAIRPERSON
...that is that I was today handed a letter addressed to the Amnesty Committee, apparently written on behalf of either APLA combatants or Africanists Prisoners Unity, I'm not quite sure, which the tone of the letter was to complain that TRC does not treat APLA members fairly, it does not release them and that this should be done immediately after hearings.   There's also a complaint about conditions in prison, which I'm afraid we can do nothing about, that is a matter that must be taken up with the prison authorities, but I would like to say that, and I have before me a copy of the letter that was written to Dr Mugaba last week, saying
"In terms of resolution 3.1 taken at our meeting of the 22nd of April 1998, the PAC undertook to furnish the Amnesty Committee with a written submission in which the policy of the PAC will be set out and responsibility be taken for the incidents applicants are seeking amnesty for.   You may be aware of the fact that several amnesty applications involving members of the PAC have been postponed until the week of the 25th of May in East London to receive evidence from the PAC or the operational commanders of APLA, one of whom is Mr Letlapa Mahlele."
	It then lists the items that have been adjourned to today and it goes on to say:-
"We require the submissions and notifications that someone will adduce this evidence on behalf of the PAC as a matter of urgency to the hearing scheduled to reconvene on the 25th."
	Once again there has been no response, although the fax was received, and it makes it almost impossible for us to come to a fair conclusion in respect of the applicants if we do not get this information, and I would urge all of you who are members of APLA or the PAC to request that they carry out their undertaking and supply the submission which they have undertaken to do.
	Thank you.   Carry on, Mr Prior.
