The Supreme Court on Monday turned down an appeal on behalf of two Chinese Muslims being held at Guantanamo Bay while the U.S. government tries to find a country to take them.

A federal judge said the detention of the ethnic Uighurs was unlawful, but courts could do nothing. Without comment, the justices declined to consider the unusual direct appeal.
