Duty to Record Sacrifice
Attorney Bayan Issam Lsuwi believes that documenting the killing of Jordanian security officer Jawad al-Salayta turned the incident into a matter of public concern, bringing its circumstances and the onlookers’ inaction to light. She stresses that documenting crimes in public places can serve justice and does not, in itself, amount to defamation. She says the recording may serve as evidence for prosecutors and the courts, and that holding those who failed to assist accountable is grounded in Article 474 of the Jordanian Penal Code and the general principles of criminal liability. She called for rejecting a culture of passive bystanding and establishing legal frameworks that distinguish between the frivolous publication of crimes and the use of documentation to protect the rights of victims and their families.
