This comes in response to a question
posed by MP Adnan Mashouqa regarding the hacking of a human rights activist's
phone.
ProtectionsThe government emphasized that phone
calls and private communications are considered confidential matters under the
Telecommunications Law, and their sanctity cannot be violated.
The
Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship also confirmed that these communications fall under the
Jordanian Cyberspace Protection System, which is monitored by relevant
government agencies in accordance with existing legislation, cybersecurity
strategies, policies, and standards.
Meanwhile, the
Ministry of Justice confirmed that any violation of the sanctity of private life or monitoring of
phone communications without a court order constitutes a criminal offense. The
ministry added that any attack on rights and freedoms is also a criminal
offense, and the legislature criminalizes such attacks.
Not within purviewThe justice ministry also stated
that the answer to how one of the Jordanian activists' phones was hacked using
the
Pegasus program is not within its purview.
The Ministry of the Interior also
stated that the issue referred to in the question by Mashouqa is under investigation.
But, as of now, no complaints have been filed with the Public Security
Directorate or the
Cybercrime Crime Unit, it added.
