Yes, there is.  For the past ten years, even during my stay in death row, I have been agonising and having this pain, that I have caused people pain as a result of my actions, and it cannot end up there.  I know it is
difficult but today I am happy that I am going to have an opportunity to say it really from the depth of my heart, not as a token of trying to ease them or ease my conscience, I really am sorry that as a result of my action and my comrades you had to lose loved ones.    Nothing can replace life.  I know how important is life.  Believe me, even in death row, I wasn't worried that I was going to hang, I was worried that my actions have led to a situation that you should lose loved ones.  I am sorry.  I know saying sorry is something that can be very simple. It is simple to say I am sorry. You can make an error.  But forgiving is something else. I don't expect you to forgive me.  I know it is difficult, but I here and now apologise to you from the depth of my heart and I believe that you will consider forgiving me. I have suffered really, emotionally, physically. I had dreams that one day I will be a doctor, I will be able to afford my mom a decent house and afford him a living.  Now all that cannot happen. I am sorry.  I hope in your heart of hearts you will find a way, even if you don't forgive me now, but reconcile with me.  These wounds I am carrying inside may not heal, I know it is easy to say. You have scars, you have suffered, you have suffered more than I have ever imagine a person can suffer.  Life is irreplaceable. If there was anything I would do to bring back all your loved ones, I would believe it, even if it meant I should put my life at stake, I would do it.  I am sorry it ever happened, I can't sleep ever since.  There is something in my conscience that says but the cause was just, but in the process people lost their lives.  I cannot walk up tall with a head, with my head high.  Whatever achievements I have, there is still something hanging in my 
back.  And I ask of you, to please, please, please consider forgiving me.  Asking forgiveness from you would be something else, but I here now plead with you.  I know it is difficult, but I plead with you to please consider forgiving me.   Thank you.
