The United States has sought to send some of the remaining captives they hold in extrajudicial detention in their Guantanamo Bay detention camp, in Cuba, to third countries. Some captives face death or torture if returned to their home countries.

As of April 24 2007 these efforts have met limited success.

  • There were originally 22 Uyghur captives held in Guantanamo.
  • They reported to their Tribunals, that they did not consider themselves Chinese.
  • They drifted, one at a time, from China, and ended up working at constructing a camp in Afghanistan.
  • Most of the Uyghurs told their Tribunals that they were trying to make their way to Turkey. Their language is sufficiently close to the Turkish language that they believe they can find work in Turkey.
  • Most of the Uyghurs acknowleged, to their Tribunals, that, at one time or another, they had been shown how to fire the camp's sole AK-47.
  • According to the Joint Task Force Guantanamo intelligence analysts the Uyghurs were receiving training at an Afghan training camp.
  • Somewhat less than half the Uyghur's Tribunals determined that they were not enemy combatants.
  • There are reports that the Department of Defense kept ordering new Tribunals to sit, to reconsider the Uyghur's status. These new Tribunals were convened, according to the in the absence of the captives, in violation of the rules established for the Trubunals.
