Ministries and figures sue journalists
The President of the Jordanian Journalists Syndicate, Tareq Al-Momani, and the CEO of the Center for Protecting and Freedom of Journalists, Nidal Mansour, emphasized the necessity for resorting to the judiciary in publishing-related cases to remain an exceptional option. They called for fostering dialogue, transparency, and respecting the oversight role of the media. They also highlighted the importance of the authorities opening up to the media and strengthening the principle of the right to reply and correction. They affirmed that criticism and uncovering facts are fundamental to journalistic work, and that combating legal pursueings should be conducted within a legal framework that balances protecting rights and media freedom. Furthermore, they urged for legal support for journalists and the expansion of remote attendance systems for sessions to reduce their burdens amid increasing complaints and legal actions against media professionals in Jordan.
