Mr Chairperson, I agree that this inquiry must lay down its own rules.  What I wish to point out or what I want to submit, is that there must be equal treatment.  If there is to be reconciliation these factors must be taken into account.  With respect, they cannot be ignored.  In that those acts, all those acts which were committed, whether by right wing or by left wing groups, were in fact the same, as those which now appear in front of this Commission.  Those people, in those circumstances, in the circumstances in which they found themselves, and what they believed in, that these comply with the requirements of a political cause. What is to be linked with is, is that those acts resulted from what is today the dispensation in this country and therefore these have to be linked and they cannot be ignored.
	Mr Chairperson, the aim or objective - excuse me, paragraph (c), the legal and the factual nature of the act or omission, it is a fact that this is a serious matter.  But with respect, in this case it was aimed specifically against a political organisation.  It wasn't generally aimed at any person, it was aimed against at the particular organisation and the deceased was believed to be a member or supporter or part of the group of this organisation.
