Jordan Detains 193 in Drug Cases
The Jordanian Public Security Directorate confirmed that during the past week, 193 individuals were arrested in drug-related cases, including 72 traffickers and dealers and 121 for possession and consumption. Authorities also seized quantities of "Crystal Meth" (also known as Shabu or Ice). The security agencies continue their campaigns against drugs, having detained over 38,000 people in more than 25,000 drug-related cases in 2024, and destroyed large quantities in approximately 150 cases. It was emphasized that 85% of the confiscated quantities were intended for smuggling out of the country. Jordanian law prescribes imprisonment of 3 to 15 years for drug smuggling and trafficking, while possession or consumption of drugs carries a penalty of up to 3 years. Ongoing security efforts are aimed at preventing drug smuggling across borders, particularly the illegal trafficking of Captagon pills.
