DR MEER
My name is Fatima Meer.    I am a retired sociologist.    I run the Institute for Black Research, which is involved in research and writing.    I came under the focus of the Nationalist Government as far back as the 1950's.    I was banned, and detained without trial.    An attempt was made at assassinating me.    I have survived these events.    My family was also involved - my husband and my son.
