    RAMIL SAFAROV SENTENCED TO EIGHT MONTHS

    Azeri Press Agency, Azerbaijan
    Nov 18 2006

    The trial on the case of Ramil Safarov, sentenced to life imprisonment
    for the murder of Armenian Army officer Gurgen Margaryan, for the
    claim raised by jailers was held yesterday in Budapesht.

    Azeri embassy in Hungary told APA that the officers of the Embassy
    participated at the court. Hungarian lawyer Clara Fisher defended
    his rights on the case.

    He got 8-month suspended sentence under Article 229 of the Criminal
    Code (resistance to officers).

    While being kept in Hungarian prison in 2004, jailers asked Ramil for
    a telephone card. But Ramil could not understand Hungarian which led
    to an incident between them. Eight jailers 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 raised counterclaim.
