Baku, 11 January: Lawyers for an armed group, formed to wage a
guerrilla war on the Armenian army in Azerbaijan's occupied
territories, have appealed to the Azerbaijani Court of Appeal.
Azerbaijan's Grave Crimes Court sentenced members of the group to
three to 10 years in prison on 22 December 2004.
The lawyers asked the Court of Appeals to overturn the ruling, saying
that the Grave Crimes Court had not taken into account extenuating
circumstances, including the "guerrillas'" desire to liberate the
occupied territories.
