Hungary Prosecutor's office protests against Court's decision

27 November 2006 [19:36] - TODAY.AZ
Hungary Prosecutor's office protested against Hungary court decision November 17 about Ramil Safarov, Azerbaijani army officer, who was sentenced to life in prison for murdering Armenian lieutenant Gurgen Markarian in Hungary.

Safarov's lawyer Ikram Shirinov told the APA he had telephone talk with Ramil on Sunday. During their talk Ramil noted that Hungary Prosecutor's office protested the court's decision. The prosecutor's office asks to aggravate Ramil's sentence. Shirinov said that both protest and appeal will be considered in the same date. The trial date has not fixed yet. The lawyers said that the date will be fixed by the court. Shirinov said that he will visit Hungary in ten days, but there are still some technical problems.

It should be noted that, 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. On November 17 Ramil got 8-month suspended sentence.
