President Ahmadinejad further explained that [former ICHTO chief, Hamid] Baqaei is under widespread criticism since he left the ICHTO and became the vice president for executive affairs, and added that issues are raised about him, which previously went unannounced.
On Saturday, Iran's Administrative Justice Court convicted Baqaei of committing a violation some five years ago and announced a verdict suspending the former ICHTO chief from assuming government positions for four years.
However, Baqaei dismissed the ruling and said he would lodge an appeal against the verdict.
