Attorney Nafeesa Mohammed is appealing to Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to use her upcoming United Nations visit to speak with Syrian leaders and other authorities to help repatriate the 97 T&T women and children who have been in Middle Eastern refugee camps since 2019.

“Prime Minister, here you have an opportunity to change the course of these children’s lives,” Mohammed appealed in a statement yesterday on behalf of relatives of the 97 people.
