AMMAN — The head of the National Center for Human Rights (NCHR) board of trustees, Rahil Gharaibeh, has referred four center employees to the public prosecutor on Thursday, Al-Ghad News reported. اضافة اعلان

The four now join two female employees and the former commissioner-general, Alaa Al-Armouti, who were also referred to the public prosecutor more than two months ago; they were all suspended.

The referral of the four employees, all of them heads of units and departments at the center, was based on claims of “violating the Cyber-crime Law by intentionally publishing or republishing posts that include defamation and slander”, Al-Ghad said.

The employees participated, together with other center staff, in sit-ins, more than 40 days ago, to protest a decision by Gharaibeh to promote a number employees, in addition to objecting to what they called “arbitrary policies” adopted by him with the workers at the center.

Gharaibeh submitted his resignation weeks ago, but it has not been accepted yet. The four employees are expected to appear before the public prosecutor today.

Meanwhile, Jo24 reported that Gharaibeh continues to carry out his duties at the center even though he had submitted his resignation on September 22.

Last month, a Royal Decree was issued approving the amendments to the NCHR law.
