The lawyer representing some 70 nationals trapped in Syria wants Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley to intervene in bringing them home.

Attorney Criston J. Williams sent a letter to the Prime Minister saying the group is desperately seeking assistance.

Mr. Williams says the group is living under dire conditions in a Syrian camp.

He says the government must acknowledge the nationality of the individuals and bring them home.

He says winter is approaching and the conditions at the Al Hol Camp will worsen.

Mr. Williams says especially given the innocence of the children there is need for action.

Chief Immigration Officer Charmaine Gandhi-Andrews has also been written to regarding the verification of the nationalities of the 70 women and children.
