10-Year Terror Minimum
The Jordanian government has decided to toughen penalties for terrorism offenses, raising the minimum prison term from five to 10 years—and to 15 years in some cases—with the death penalty also possible. The amendments include adding together penalties for multiple offenses, counting a prison year as 12 months instead of nine, denying those convicted parole after serving three-quarters of their sentence, doubling penalties for collaborators and inciters, and imposing monitoring measures after sentences have been served. The Cabinet has referred the amendments to the House of Representatives on an expedited basis, and they are expected to reach it within two weeks.
