Britain's fury over settlement of Guantánamo Uighurs in Bermuda

06-15-2009 • London Times

The Government of Bermuda failed to consult with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office on the decision to take in the Uighurs – whose return is demanded by Beijing – and it could now be forced to send them back to Cuba or risk a grave diplomatic crisis.
