The presidential
pardon is a process that is in the discretion of the President whether he may want to do it or not upon application of the affected person, which ourselves as the department can act to as a conduit to help. There is an offer that the department has made to the students to say; the department can also help them to complete the forms to make a substantive application if needs be, whatever motivation that is needed to guide the students in terms of the procedure and everything.
The department stands ready to do that, if and when the need arises and we will be able to do so if we receive the application and then we'll be able to appraise the President and the President will also apply his mind to that. It's the President's full discretion to end up deciding on the presidential pardon. Thank you.
