Mazharuddin is a citizen of Tajikistan who was held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba.[1]
The US Department of Defense reports that he was born on December 1, 1979, in Pajpai, Pakistan.
Mazharudin was captured in Pakistan in May 2002 and transferred to Tajikistan on March 31, 2004.[2]
Fellow Guantanamo detainee Muhibullo Abdulkarim Umarov was interviewed by Mother Jones magazine.[3] He described being captured while staying with his a friend, on the campus of the University of Karachi on May 19, 2002. He said his host, Abdughaffor, and another guest, Mazharuddin, were captured when he was.
Umarov said the three men were transferred from Pakistani custody to American custody in early June 2002. Then the three men were transferred from Bagram to Guantanamo in early August 2002.
Umarov said that three men were re-united when they were moved to Camp 4, the camp for compliant detainees, in February 2004.[3] The men were issued white uniforms there, and were allowed access to an outside exercise yard for six hours per day. Umarov described them playing soccer in the yard, and being so debilitated by their years of imprisonment that they were "like two teams of old men".
Umarov said that the three men were released on March 31, 2004.
