30 October 2006 [13:30] - TODAY.AZ
On November 17 Hungarian court 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.

Safarov's family members and lawyers Ikram Shirinoiv and Elmar Kerimov will participate in the hearings. Shirinov said that they will visit Hungary on the first 10day of November. The lawyers said that Safarov is expected to be sentenced on November 17. Hungarian lawyer Clara Fisher will defend his rights on the case. The Azerbaijani lawyers will meet with Safarov and Clara Fisher during the visit.

While being held 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. APA
