Oct. 20 - The Supreme Court agreed today to hear an appeal brought by a group of Chinese Muslims (Uighurs) who have been imprisoned at Guantánamo for years, though the government concedes they are not "enemy combatants."
The Brennan Center joined a bipartisan group that submitted an amicus brief [pdf]urging the Court to hear the case, which had been overturned on its' latest hearing in a lower court.
