Jordanian lawyers stop trials in protest of the Israeli practices in occupied territories

Jordan's lawyers have stopped working in all the Jordanian courts at 11 a.m. Wednesday for half an hour in protest of flagrant attacks made by the Israeli forces against the Palestinians in the occupied Arab territories, and over the Arab and International silence towards this aggression.

The chairman of the Jordanian bar association Saleh al-Armouti said in a press statement that stopping work by Jordanian lawyers reveals people's anger and deep solidarity with the Palestinians in the occupied territories.
