Guantánamo detainees for Lithuania?

The daily Lietuvos Rytas argues that Lithuania should accept seven Uzbek prisoners from Guantánamo, explaining why they should not be sent back to Uzbekistan: "Several human rights organisations have reported on persecutions, imprisonments and judgements with religious motives. If we consider how brutally the regime of Uzbek dictator Islam Karimov treats its political opponents we can be pretty much sure that the Guantánamo prisoners will go straight back to jail. And it's entirely possible they will be subject to more repression there than in Guantánamo."
