24 women from Trinidad and Tobago, 70 children still in Syrian camps

ATTORNEY Nafeesa Mohammed has said there are still 24 women from Trinidad and Tobago and 70 children stuck in detention camps in Syria. She said she has not stopped advocating for them to be able to return to this country and reunite with their families. In 2018, Dr Simon Cottee, professor of criminology from the University of Kent, found over 42 children had been taken by their parents from their TT homes to ISIS battlegrounds in the Middle East since 2015. Most of the men who ventured there were killed in war, with their wives and children now being housed at these camps. Mohammed has been advocating for their safe return over the past three years. She resigned from the PNM during the campaign for the 2020 general election and said the Government was uncaring towards nationals in refugee camps in Syria.
