Rights Watch: An arrest campaign in Jordan against pro-Palestine demonstrators. Authorities charged some of them under the new cybercrime law, which was widely criticized.
“Jordanian authorities are trampling on the rights to freedom of expression and assembly in an attempt to suppress Gaza-related activism,” said Lama Fakih, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. The organization recalled that the Jordanian parliament “hastily” approved the “repressive” cybercrime Law in August.
