The rejection was expressed by the governor of Amman Talaaat al-Nawaesah who justified the rejection to preserve the security and the law under the current prevailing conditions.

The chairman of the higher co- ordination committee for the Jordanian national parties Muhammad al-Zou'bi criticized this rejection and said the Jordanian parties and civil societies establishments call for the freedom of expression in compliance with the law and the constitution.
