English-Danish translations for captive

• fange
  I en parlamentsbeslutning bør det ikke kræves, at Hamas løslader en fange som en simpel "goodwill-handling". A parliamentary resolution should not call for Hamas to release a captive as a mere "act of goodwill”.
  Den, som befrier en uskyldig fange fra ét fængsel og låser ham inde i et andet, er en fangevogter, ikke en befrier. The one, who frees the innocent captive from one prison and locks him up in another, is a prison guard, not a liberator.
