Broader application of death penalty
Jordanian Prime Minister Jafar Husan affirmed that the government is seeking to expand the application of the death penalty to include major drug traffickers and smugglers connected to external gangs, in an effort to deter crimes that intersect with security threats and threaten the country's stability. This comes amid ongoing confrontations between Jordan and trafficking networks and organized crime along its northern and eastern borders, which employ advanced methods and cause significant losses to the state through these clashes. There is an acknowledgment that the current penalties have not been sufficient for deterrence. Expanding the penalty is seen as a way to increase the costs of crime and serve as a warning to criminals, despite potential international criticism regarding its unpredictable impact on the drug trade.
