AMINA DESAI
Yes, I was under house arrest for five years and that period was very hard for me because my people really couldn't understand, most of them couldn't understand that I was under house arrest and that I was not aloof from them, but that I was forced to be aloof from them.  I couldn't even have my brother to come and see me. I had to get special permission to come to hospital.  But you live with it and you survive.
