New paper licensed in Jordan

It was decided to issue a new Arabic language Jordanian paper concerned with human rights at the local, Arab and international levels under the name of al-Hurreya.

The Jordanian minister of information Muhammad al-Edwan agreed to issue this paper next week. Its chief editor will be Mousa al-Azra'e and it will be circulated locally, and at the Arab and international levels through distribution agencies.

Worthy mentioning that in Jordan there are four dailies which are al-Rai, al-Dostour, al-Arab al-Youm and al-Awaq and some 25 weeklies.
