ขอบคุณที่เป็นห่วง แต่ฉันยังทำใจไม่ได้ในตอนนี้ ฉันพยายามแล้วเพื่อนKing Abdullah II should reject amendments to Jordan's Anti-Terrorism Law that broaden the definition of terrorism and threaten freedom of expression. The amendments quickly passed Jordan's lower house of parliament on April 22, 2014, and the upper house on April 30.
The amendments, which would replace four articles in Jordan's 2006 Anti-Terrorism Law, broaden the definition of terrorism to include such acts as “disturbing [Jordan's] relations with a foreign state.” That offense is already in Jordan's penal code and is regularly used to punish peaceful criticism of foreign countries or their rulers. The amendments would also stiffen penalties. The government spokesman, Mohammed al-Momani, stated that the amendments are necessary to help authorities cope with an influx of Jordanian fighters returning from the war in Syria.
“Jordan's legitimate security concerns don't give the government a green light to punish peaceful criticism of foreign rulers as terrorism,” said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East and North Africa director. “Jordan ought to be increasing the space for public criticism and debate rather than limiting it.”
