Shahoglan Mirzayev, killed and wounded Armenians, to be pardoned

[ 16 Dec. 2006 15:09 ]

Shahoglan Mirzayev, 64, who is serving his sentence in the Prison #1,
has many times appealed to the President for a pardon.

The prisoner told an APA reporter that he was sentenced to 14 years
in jail for having killed two Armenians and wounded two.
He said he was attacked by Armenian nationals outside his house in
Novan settlement in 1993, and opened fire on them by his
fowling-piece.
He served ten years in Gobustan Jail, but sentenced additional three
years for prison riot. He has been served four years in Prison #1.
Now he is worried about his only daughter.
Mirzayev thinks his appeal didn’t reach the President.
`I would have been granted a presidential pardon, if my appeal had
been delivered to him. I was in prison or having killed
enemy-Armenians,’ he complained. /APA/
