Chinese Muslim detainees take case to Supreme Court
Chinese Muslims asked the Supreme Court on Monday to order their release into the United States from American military custody at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The 17 men are Uighurs, an ethnic group from western China. In October, a federal judge ordered the Uighurs released inside the United States because they are no longer considered "enemy combatants." Federal judges handling appeals from Guantanamo prisoners have grown frustrated in recent months with the continued detention of some of the men. Some legal and military analysts have likened them to civilian grand jury proceedings.
