The Sofia Appellate Court confirmed the three-and-a-half years jail sentence for Oktay Enimehmedov who pointed a gas pistol at the head of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) honorary chairman Ahmed Dogan in January 2013.
The second instance, just as the first, acquitted Enimehmedov of attempted murder and sentenced him for hooliganism and threat to murder.
