The Jordanian press and the sanctions law
Jordan, Politics, 10/11/2001

The council of the Jordanian journalists Union has refused the amendment of the temporary sanctions law which was approved by the government. It states a penalty of jailing the journalist and closing the papers in issues relating to the printings and publications.

Trade union sources said that its council held an emergency session in which it stressed the new amendments to the sanctions law, taking into consideration the current conditions and, on the other hand stressing the values and principles governing the work of the press.
