Ramil Safarov got eight more months in addition to life sentence

18 November 2006 [12:36] - TODAY.AZ
The trial on the case of Ramil Safarov for the claim raised by jailers was held yesterday in Budapesht.

As APA reports, the officers of the Embassy participated at the court. Hungarian lawyer Clara Fisher defended his rights on the case.

He got 8-month suspended sentence under Article 229 of the Criminal Code (resistance to officers).

While being kept in Hungarian prison in 2004, jailers asked Ramil for a telephone card. But Ramil could not understand Hungarian which led to an incident between them. Eight jailers 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 raised counterclaim.
