Legal expert of VOA:Mr. Boroujerdi is counted as a hostage of Iran regime now, because his condemnation has finished

News talk program in VOA (Voice of America), Monday November 23, 2009:
Mrs. Elaheh Hix (international Human Rights activist and expert in Human Rights matters in New York) in reply to a question about "the reason of not releasing Ayatollah Boroujerdi in spite of finishing his condemnation" said: “This matter that Iran’s procedural law and regulations are not enforced by high ranked authorities of Iran and a prisoner is kept in prison without presentation of charge reason is routine and not unusual. This is against the procedural law that a prisoner be kept in prison more than the time of his condemnation. This action is real hostage taking of political activists, opponents, and critics of Iran’s authorities that are living as hostage in country or prisons.
