Representatives of Azeri Justice Ministry that participate May 3 in
the work of second trial on Ramil Safarov’s case, said the process
is going on normally, Trend reports quoting Zavar Gafarli, head of
international relations, Ministry of Justice.

The process included examination of two jail guards. “We may state
justice or injustice of court’s position only after the sentence”,
– Gafarli said.

The court hearing is continued September 1, 2006. Representatives
of Azeri Ministry of Justice are expected to participate at this
session too.

The reason for the second trial is discrepancy between Ramil Safarov
and employees of jail, where he was kept under the investigation
for his original case. R.Safarov is charged with resistance to jail
employees. According to the accusation, on June 19, 2004 jailers
entered R.Safarov’s cell and demanded to give them phone card.
However, Safarov disobeyed and resisted jailers trying to cuff him.

On April 13, 2006 Safarov was sentenced to life imprisonment for
killing Armenian officer G.Markaryan. His second case is tried in
Pest district court.
