Jordan to Expand Use of Death Penalty
Jordanian Prime Minister Jafar Hani announced that the government will work on amending the law to expand the application of the death penalty to major drug traffickers and smugglers who deal with foreign gangs. This came after the execution of six convicts by hanging for serious criminal cases, the first since 2017. These cases included acts of terrorism and drug trafficking, during which several security personnel were killed. The measures indicate the government's intention to impose harsher penalties in response to attacks on the armed forces and security agencies.
