Two Uighurs to be released
The government of Switzerland has agreed to accept two of the seven Chinese Muslim (Uighur) detainees remaining at Guantanamo Bay, but their lawyers insisted that the case scheduled for review by the Supreme Court will go on. In a letter sent to the Court Tuesday, the attorneys noted the agreement of Swiss authorities, in a humanitarian gesture, to accept two brothers — one of whom has been offered no resettlement opportunity by any country. They are among the seven whose legal fate the Justices will examine in Kiyemba v. Obama (08-1234), now scheduled for oral argument on March 23.
