In a press briefing, the minister declared a ban on all activities of the dissolved Muslim Brotherhood, stating that any form of activity under its name constitutes a legal violation and will be subject to legal accountability.
Al-Faraya emphasized the acceleration of the work of the dissolution committee tasked with confiscating all movable and immovable assets belonging to the group, in accordance with related judicial rulings.
He confirmed that membership in the dissolved Muslim Brotherhood is prohibited, as is the promotion of its ideology, with violators subject to prosecution.
The minister also announced the closure of any offices or premises used by the group across the Kingdom, even if shared with other entities, under threat of legal consequences.
He warned political forces, media outlets, social media users, civil society institutions, and all other entities against engaging with or publishing content related to the dissolved Muslim Brotherhood or any of its fronts or affiliates, noting that legal measures will be taken against violators.
Al-Faraya stressed that legal action will be taken against any individual or entity found to be involved in criminal acts connected to the dissolved group, based on ongoing court investigations.
He revealed that on the same night plans were announced last week, the group attempted to smuggle and destroy a large amount of documents from its premises to conceal its activities and suspicious connections.
The minister also disclosed that following the announcement of threats to national security last week, authorities intercepted an operation involving the manufacturing and testing of explosives by an individual associated with the group’s leadership and others. They were reportedly planning to target security forces and sensitive locations within Jordan.
Al-Faraya stated that these decisions stem from the state's commitment to protecting society and maintaining order, preventing actions that disturb public security or distort legitimate political engagement.
He affirmed that Jordan has historically supported citizens’ rights to form political parties and associations and to express their opinions freely within the law. However, elements of the dissolved Muslim Brotherhood have acted covertly in ways that destabilize security and national unity, defying court rulings and public order.
He cited the discovery of explosives and weapons moving between cities and being stored in residential areas, including the concealment of rockets in Amman suburbs, and training and recruitment operations both domestically and abroad, as unacceptable for any state.
Al-Faraya concluded by reiterating the government's commitment to safeguarding citizens' rights to free expression and responsible political engagement, within the legal framework, stressing the importance of national unity, especially amid current regional and global challenges.
At the beginning of his remarks, the minister highlighted that Islam advocates tolerance and moderation, warning that extremism and fanaticism only lead to chaos, violence, and division within societies.
