KULDEEP KAUR AND GURSAHEB SINGH CHAINED TO A BED IN BANKA BLAIR, 2003-12-29 (photo)

Gursaheb Singh (R) and his sister Kuldeep Kaur chained to a bed at their home in the village of Banka Blair in the northern Indian state of Punjab, December 29, 2003. The brother and sister, who are mentally disturbed, have been kept chained at home for 12 years. Their mother says that her children became mentally disturbed after they saw their father shot dead in front of them by terrorists in 1991. Their widowed mother is unable to afford treatment for them and says that she chains her children so they do not leave the house and go missing. REUTERS/Munish Sharma KK
