Man imprisoned after incident involving harsh words
The Amman Magistrate's Court of First Instance amended the criminal charge in a case involving a dispute between a lawyer and his client via WhatsApp, changing it from a crime of publishing statements that defame, libel, and insult through electronic networking to a crime of sending insulting messages via a communication means. The defendant was convicted and sentenced to one month of imprisonment and fines, after it was shown that the messages were private and directly addressed to the lawyer, not publicly posted. Additionally, the court dismissed the compensation claim due to lack of evidence proving damages caused by the messages.
