Terrorism

Extradition

The Swiss Government announced that it would accept two Uighur brothers who have been detained at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay.The Swiss Justice Minister said that the decision was based on "Switzerland's humanitarian tradition" (which, as it turns out, is fairly limited, as Switzerland took only three Guantanamo detainees and no more). A Chinese FM spokesman said the two detainees "are suspected members of the terrorist group East Turkistan Islamic Movement" and suggested that Switzerland should follow international regulations not to accept terrorists.
