Uighur Guantanamo Inmates Left in Limbo
From Al Jazeera English --
Though the Uighur Muslims cleared for release from Guantanamo have finally been resettled, this video provides an insight into the complications of resettlement of innocent detainees on U.S. soil. If they are sent back to their home country, they could be persecuted, tortured, or killed. If they are sent to the U.S., they will most likely face violence and prejudice. The question of what to do with freed former is becoming a complex international conundrum.
It is appearing more and more likely that the U.S. won't resettle freed prisoners within its own borders. This has the international community asking, if the U.S. won't take them, why should they?
In the midst of this politcal back-and-forth, they may no longer be prisoners at Guantanamo, but perhaps prisoners of international politics.
As the story continues to develop, explore the timeline of events, including freed prisoners and where they end up.
