Jordanian woman jailed for slander
The Court of First Instance in Salt, in its capacity as an appellate court, reduced the penalty for a woman convicted of the crime of defamation from three years of imprisonment to six months. She had been found guilty of defaming a man she previously worked for. The woman had previously filed a complaint accusing him of sexual harassment, but she later retracted it and admitted that she fabricated the complaint to pressure him into dropping a theft case involving money and gold jewelry valued at approximately 3,000 dinars. The court upheld the conviction but reduced the sentence based on her retraction before the commencement of charges, with the period of detention and execution being counted within the sentenced term.
