 Since 2001, the US has held at least 22 Uyghur detainees in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Most of these detainees are judged to have never been a threat to US national security, and are slated for release. However, US Secretary of State Colin Powell said on August 12, 2003 that these Uyghurs will not be returned to China, and he expressed concerns that they are likely to face torture or execution.
