European Journal | Albania: Asylum for former Guantanamo inmates
Two years ago, four Uighurs were released from the US detention center in Guantanamo Bay. They belonged to a Muslim minority group in China who had traveled to Pakistan via Afghanistan because they alleged they had suffered human rights abuses in their home country. In 2000, Pakistani police arrested the men and transferred them to US custody and spent years in detention. They found asylum in Albania but life in the foreign country is everything but easy and hopes of reuniting with their families have completely faded.

Good for Abania for doing the righteous thing in bringing them into their country and helping the poor Ulghars integrate into their society.
It kinda sucks that they were tortured and abused by both the Chinese and American government for doin nothing. Anyways, good luck to them in whatever they end up doing in life.
Pizza sounds good right about now. Mmm..
