04 September 2006 [16:41] - TODAY.AZ
On Tuesday, Hungarian court will hold next hearing on jailer's claim against Ramil Safarov, Azerbaijani Army officer, who was sentenced to life in prison for murdering Armenian lieutenant Gurgen Markarian in Hungary.

Azerbaijani Embassy in Hungary told the APA three more witnesses will testify in the trial. Clara Fisher, new Hungarian lawyer for Ramil defends him on this case.

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.
