On November 17 Pest court headed by judge Tot Tyondyosh will hold
court hearings on prison officers' claim against Ramil Safarov,
Azerbaijani army officer, who was sentenced to life in prison for
murdering Armenian lieutenant Gurgen Markarian in Hungary, Azerbaijani
Embassy told the APA.
The officers of the Embassy will participate in the court. He will
be sentenced after the witnesses' testimony. Hungarian lawyer Clara
Fisher will defend his rights on the case.
It should be noted that, while being kept in Hungarian prison in
2004, jailers wanted telephone card from Ramil. But Ramil could
not understand Hungarian which led an incident between them. Eight
police officers tied his hands and used force. Though lawyers for
the Azerbaijani lieutenant appealed to court related to this matter,
the court dismissed the appeal saying there was no evidence. Then
the opposite side claimed that Ramil resisted officials.
