Where Will 5 Chinese Muslims Go After Gitmo?

The fate of the five remaining Chinese Muslims being held in Guantanamo Bay became murkier this week. The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal on behalf of the Uighurs –  who have been cleared of any implications of terrorism. The appeal may have allowed them to stay here in the U.S. after they are released from Cuba.  Sabin Willet  represents the five remaining detainees. He says that the Uighurs have refused an invitation to resettle in Palau because they see it as an island exile.   Joanne Mariner, director of Hunter College’s Human Rights Program, says this case is particularly challenging because there really aren’t any direct precedents for allowing detainees to resettle here in the U.S.
