31 August 2006 [15:28] - TODAY.AZ
September 1 and 5, 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.

Officer of the Azerbaijani Embassy in Hungary Parviz Guluzadeh told, the embassy officers will also attend 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.

Another Hungarian lawyer Koch Machar will defend Ramil in the trial in the Court of Appeal, APA reports.
