Transfer to Ireland
Shakhrukh Hamiduva and fellow Uzbekistani Oybek Jabbarov were transferred to Ireland on September 26, 2009.[7][8] Initially both men's names were withheld. On September 27 the Associated Press reported that one of the men was "Oybek Jabbarov".[9] Ireland had been discussing accepting the transfer of some Guantanamo detainees for several months prior to the September 26, 2009 announcement that two Uzbek detainees had been transferred. Dermot Ahern, the Irish Minister of Justice, asked reporters to respect the men's privacy.
The Irish Times continues to report on the integration of Hamiduva and Jabbarov back into society, reporting on September 30, 2009 that the Irish government has prepared a "10-week series of intensive courses in civics, cookery and other subjects."[10] After five years of residency the two men will be eligible to apply for Irish citizenship.
