US won't release Chinese Muslims at Guantanamo due to fear that the Chinese Authorities will later torture them!

A federal appeals court panel ruled that 17 native Chinese Muslims in military custody at Guantanamo Bay, will not be released into the United States. The 17 men are from an ethnic Muslim group from western China. They are accused of receiving weapons and military training in Afghanistan.

Many of the detainees have been cleared for release, but the US will not send them back to China due to concern that they would be tortured by Chinese authorities.
