The families of Bermuda’s Uighur refugees are in need of help with English lessons, according to Amnesty International Bermuda.

The four men, brought to Bermuda four years ago from the US prison camp at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, now have young children, and wives struggling with an unfamiliar language.

Originally from western China, the Uighurs are unable to return home for fear of persecution — and don’t hold passports, as they don’t have citizenship.

Their wives and children are in most need of lessons. All children are under the age of five, according to Amnesty director Suzanne Wilson, who asked prospective teachers to contact her.

Meanwhile, the group plans to hold its Tag Day this Saturday from noon in front of City Hall and around Hamilton.

Amnesty Bermuda will also have a table in the Washington Mall to collect signatures for its human rights campaigns.
