Critics argued that the USA could not evade its obligation to conduct competent tribunals to determine whether captives are or are not, entitled to the protections of prisoner of war status.

According to the Globe, Tohti claimed there had been a positive consensus to admit Anvar, and two men whose lawyers have not authorized their names to be released.
[8][9][10][11][12] On 29 June 2015, Nathan Vanderklippe, reporting in The Globe and Mail, wrote that all the Uyghurs had quietly left Palau.

The Globe confirmed that controversy still surrounded former President Johnson Toribiong who had used some of those funds to billet the Uyghurs in houses belonging to his relatives.
