Four Chinese Uighurs|Freed From Guantanamo

WASHINGTON (CN) - Four Uighurs -- Chinese Muslims -- have been released from Guantanamo and resettled in Bermuda, the Justice Department said today. Thirteen more Uighurs remain in the U.S. prison in Cuba.

The United States will not deport them to China because the Chinese government considers Uighurs illegal separatists; 234 prisoners remain in Guantanamo.
