Next court hearing on Ramil Safarov' case held in Hungary

Five witnesses-three jailors, one prison doctor and Hungarian prisoner testified. Two jailers, parties of the incident put their versions. Another jailor, who witnessed the incident positively characterized Azerbaijani officer. He said Ramil always obeyed discipline.

The Hungarian prisoner said the incident was due to Ramil's poor knowledge of Hungarian, which confirms our officer's testimony.

The court hearing will continue with witnesses' testimonies on 5 September.

Azerbaijani Embassy officers also attended the trial.

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.

Clara Fisher, new Hungarian lawyer for Ramil defends him on this case, APA reports.
