Resistance Group Calls for March Ban Lift
The National Forum for Supporting Resistance and Protecting the Homeland, along with the Jordanian Popular Front, has confirmed that the decision by the Capital Governor to prohibit the peaceful mass march scheduled for August 14, 2026, in protest against the settlers' crimes in the West Bank and the Gaza War, is illegal and violates the people's right to peaceful expression and assembly guaranteed by the constitution. This is especially significant given that the relevant authorities were informed more than two weeks in advance, in accordance with the law, and no written decision was issued, raising questions about its legality. The statement considered that banning the march harms political life and runs counter to efforts to modernize the democratic process. It affirmed that expressing concern over crucial issues, such as the future of Palestine and the Arab nation, does not pose a threat to the homeland, and that the right to peaceful protest must be respected. The forum and the front called on the government and the Ministry of Interior to reverse the decision to prohibit, emphasizing that any decision regarding rights and freedoms must be made transparently, justified, and in accordance with the rule of law. They reiterated that protecting the homeland and safeguarding freedoms are not mutually exclusive options, and that a strong Jordan is one that educates its people and respects its legal institutions.
