The US Supreme Court has rejected three appeals by Guantanamo detainees protesting against their indefinite detention. But the highest US court did not decide three other appeals – including one filed by ethnic Uighur Chinese Muslims who were arrested in Afghanistan in 2001, and are still being held there. The Chinese were cleared of all terrorism charges and are part of a larger group of 22 Uighurs formerly detained at Guantanamo, who have since been parceled out throughout the globe. Washington has refused to send them back to China, fearing they would be persecuted there.
