Amman court fines man over "(Hey, donkey)"
The Amman Court of First Instance, upon appeal, sentenced a man to a fine of 1,225 Jordanian dinars after convicting him of the offense of slander in a face-to-face manner during an official investigation session. He directed the phrase "You idiot" at the complainant while discussing financial violations. The court affirmed that there was sufficient evidence to show that the remark had violated the complainant’s dignity and reputation, and that the resulting moral harm warranted compensation, despite the lower court having acquitted the defendant of charges of defamation and contempt.
