HRW Urges Jordan to Free Ayman Sandoqa
Human Rights Watch has called on Jordanian authorities to revoke the prison sentence issued against Ayman Sandouqa and to release him, affirming that the case represents a clear violation of his right to freedom of expression. He was sentenced to five years in prison after being convicted for a Facebook post criticizing Jordanian-Israeli relations, although the court later determined that the correct legal classification was a misdemeanor or lesser offense. The organization pointed out that the prosecution had ceased his detention after a request for retrial was filed, and his fate remains uncertain amid criticism of the decline in the protection of freedom of expression in Jordan.
