The committee had discussed the
possibility of issuing a
general amnesty in view of the prevailing economic and
social conditions in the Kingdom, Fayez said.
During a meeting held last week, the
committee had also discussed the demands of a number of protesters who staged a
sit-in in front of the House of Representatives, he said. The committee decided
to adopt the demands of the protesters and convey them to the government.
The protesters had called on the
government to issue a
general amnesty in cases in which the personal right of
the complainant is waived and reconciliation between the concerned parties has
been reached, he noted. They also called for a review of administrative
detention cases.
Fayez pointed out that the committee
will hold consultations with the government about these demands and submit a
general amnesty petition, especially in light of overcrowding at reform and
rehabilitation centers and the difficult conditions that Jordanians are facing.
