A citizen’s intervention to protect a security officer is, in principle, a legitimate defense of another person under Article 341 of the Jordanian Penal Code, provided it occurs during an unjustified attack and the attack cannot be repelled except by using the necessary force. Accordingly, the attacker’s death does not automatically mean that a crime has been committed. Article 60 allows a judge to exempt the defender from punishment or reduce their sentence if they exceeded the limits of self-defense in good faith. The court determines the circumstances of the incident and whether the relevant conditions were met. The lawfulness of the defense also does not settle whether possessing the weapon was lawful. The law requires providing assistance within the limits of one’s ability and circumstances, but this does not mean a person must enter an armed confrontation or put their life at risk.
