The Uighur ethnic group is a Turkic ethnic group originally from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China. The Uighurs practice Islam.

Nationalists refer to their homeland as East Turkestan. 22 of the captives in Guantanamo were alleged to have been associated with the East Turkestan Independence Movement (ETIM).[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]
