Slovakia accepts three Guantanamo Uighur inmates
Three Chinese Muslim Uighurs have been flown to Slovakia from the US military prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, the Slovak interior ministry says.
The three are now in the capital Bratislava, a ministry official told the BBC. None of them are terror suspects, the ministry stressed.
Slovakia - a member of the EU and Nato - also accepted three inmates from Guantanamo in 2010.
The US says all the Uighur prisoners have now been released from Guantanamo.
