GENEVA: The Swiss government on Wednesday approved the resettlement of two Chinese inmates at Guantanamo as part of its commitment to help President Barack Obama’s administration close the detention center. Beijing had objected to the move, calling the brothers terrorist suspects who should face justice in China. “We have stable, good relations with China and we want to keep them that way,” Justice Minister Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf said. Switzerland’s decision to take in the ethnic Uighur brothers was guided by humanitarian principles and should not be interpreted as giving preference to one country over another, she said. Tensions between China’s majority Han population and Uighurs in the Western region of Xinjiang have flared up recently, and Beijing is

highly sensitive to any separatist

inclinations.
