 Since 2001, the US has held at least 22 Uyghur detainees in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Most of these detainees are judged to have never been a threat to US national security, and are slated for release. However, US Secretary of State Colin Powell said on August 12, 2003 that these Uyghurs will not be returned to China, and he expressed concerns that they are likely to face torture or execution. UHRP joins Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch in expressing grave concern for their safety if they are deported to any other nation where they might face the danger of torture or other cruel or inhumane treatment.

The Supreme Court this week ended the quest of five exonerated Guantanamo detainees who are seeking release in the United States. The defeat for the Uighurs, members of a Muslim minority group in China, shouldn't be the end of the story. The problem is that other paths to settling them here are strewn with obstacles.
