Parole Denial Questioned
Lawyer and former judge Lu’ay Jamal Ubaidat warned against the adoption of government amendments to Jordan’s Correction and Rehabilitation Centers Law that would exclude people convicted under the Anti-Terrorism Law from release after serving three-quarters of their sentence. He argued that Article 34 makes release—once the requirements of good conduct and discipline are met—a legal entitlement, not an entirely discretionary power. He based this view on the difference in wording between Articles 34 and 35, and on the disciplinary penalties set out in Article 38. He also cautioned that the amendments could infringe the legal rights of people sentenced under the previous law, and called for them to undergo legal and human-rights review before being adopted.
