TORONTO (AP) — Canada has refused a request from the Obama administration to take 17 Chinese Muslims cleared for release from the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo.
Kory Teneycke, a spokesman for Prime Minister Stephen Harper, said Friday recent inquiries concerning the 17 Uighurs at Guantanamo were rejected.
"Canada is not looking to take any detainees from Guantanamo," Teneycke told The Associated Press. "In the case of the Uighurs and other Guantanamo Bay detainees Canada has no interest."
