Hungary did not violate rights in Azeri axe murder case
By EUobserver
Hungary did not violate the European Convention on Human Rights when in 2012 it transferred to Azerbaijan a military officer who killed an Armenian soldier in Budapest because of his ethnicity during Nato training, the European Court of Human Rights said in its first ruling on the case on Tuesday. The officer was jailed in Hungary, but arriving in Baku he was pardoned and released, breaching the convention.
