As Bana and his friends face their executions, Bana's sacrifice can hardly be seen as a stand against corruption in his country. Bana doesn't actually believe that his death will serve a purpose... he isn't trying to prove a pint, and he does not believe that his actions will serve to further illuminate those around him. Bana's sacrifice is in its own way a selfish.... Bana is without hope for the future, and his pending execution is seen as a way out of an irreversible situation.
