Guanta detainees
A US appeals court has overturned a ruling that would have transferred 17 Guantanamo Bay detainees to the US.
The men are ethnic Uygurs from Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. They have been cleared for release from Guantanamo, but the United States refuses to send them home to China. So they remain in prison while the US figures out what to do with them.
