Jordanian authorities are using the country’s new cybercrimes law to stifle expression, particularly pro-Palestine sentiment, leading human rights organisation Amnesty International has found.
At least 15 individuals have been prosecuted under the law after criticising authorities online, Amnesty’s report says.
The scope of crimes is also deemed broad, as people can be prosecuted for accusations such as “spreading fake news”, “provoking strife”, “threatening societal peace” and “contempt for religions”.
