ETIM training camp

Last updated

ETIM training camp is a name that Joint Task Force Guantanamo counter-terrorism analysts applied to a place where two dozen ethnic Uyghurs held in Guantanamo are suspected of having received training. [1] [2] JTF-GTMO analysts assert that the camp was run by a group they called the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, although Uyghur activists were not familiar with the groups. [3]

The Uyghur activists dispute that the compound was military training camp. [1]
