I want to tell you the story according how I heard it.  This child was not at home because they - they've been arrested before.  I still remember it was in 1985, five of then were arrested and they were - they stayed in jail for 25 days.  I went to ask then why did they arrest the children.  They said to me we will let them free on a certain date and I went back to work.  When I came back from work that day, my child was at home and I didn't say anything.  
 On the 6th of May - on the 5th of May in that year they were at  [indistinct]  and they were arrested.  The next morning I went to see them, he was badly assaulted.  And I couldn't realise he was my child and I went back home.  They stayed in the cells for 8 months and their - on the other side their court hearing was continuing.  There were 5 - it continued until December and on the 19th it went to the Supreme Court and it - they were discharged.  And they managed to come back home and they carried on with their schooling.  
 While schooling I didn't have sleep at all because the police would come home - I didn't know where was sleeping because he didn't sleep at home.  But when I prepared myself for work he would come and prepare himself for school.  I didn't know what was happening because he wasn't fond of lingering around the streets.  He was a church-goer  - he used to be at the church and he belonged to the Christian Youth Organisations.  Some - some - some of the people didn't like what our children were doing.  
 And as time went on he said to me I want to leave this place - I'm going to - to seek another place where I can go to school.  I said to him go Lathli, and then he left.  Months went by not knowing where my child was, I was very un restless.  Terror  [indistinct]  I couldn't rest and every time they come to me I would give them answers and I would say to them you started with my child, what did you want from him.  
 Things were like that - years went by and they came to me at work and they questioned me about things that I do not understand.  While interrogating me I kept on saying I don't know what you are asking.  And - and he said I should sign a form, I said to him I don't to sign this because I don't know what am I signing.  And my employer said give me those papers so that I can read then and after that I signed.  I knocked of and I went home - a year went by I didn't see my child.  He left in 1985.
