Jordan jails 4 journos
- Jordan: Tuesday, March 18 - 2008 at 13:40
The Jordan Press Association is expressing 'concern' over the conviction of four leading journalists, reported The Jordan Times. Although the kingdom's Press and Publications Law prohibits jailing journalists for charges related to performing their job, other laws, such as the penal code, still allow detention and imprisonment under different labels, such as libel. In three cases involving penal code provisions, the court has issued three-month prison sentences to chief editor of Al Arab Al Yawm Arabic daily, Taher Adwan, and reporter, Sahar Qassem, in addition to former chief editor of Ad Dustour daily Osama Sharif and its reporter Fayez Louzi.
