Hungarian Ombudsman, Mate Szabo, asked for an all-inclusive report from the justice minister, concerning the transfer of life-sentenced Azerbaijani officer, Ramil Sahib Safarov, Politics.hu reports.
The ombudsman’s office expects information on the preparation of the transfer to Azerbaijan, on preliminary cabinet decisions, their reasons and background, and on an alleged written guarantee from the Azeri government (to keep Safarov behind bars).
The ombudsman recalled that Hungarian laws stipulate that a transfer can only take place if the receiving country assures the sender about upholding and continuing the sentence the convict received.
