Maaytah: No Entity Has the Right to Claim It Protects Religion in Jordan - Jordan News

Maaytah: No Entity Has the Right to Claim It Protects Religion in Jordan Musa Maaytah, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Independent Election Commission, stated on Thursday that no entity has the right to claim it is the protector of religion in Jordan, emphasizing that everyone must respect the country's religious and ethnic diversity. اضافة اعلان During the launch of public opinion poll results on women's political participation in the 2024 parliamentary elections, Maaytah stressed that the protection of religion lies with the institutions established by law, not with those who merely claim to do so. He pointed out that His Majesty King Abdullah II has, for years, been the clear and consistent voice fighting for the Palestinian cause. Maaytah affirmed that Jordan has given much in support of the Palestinian cause, including the sacrifices of its martyrs, and continues to do so. He stressed that under the leadership of His Majesty, Jordan remains committed to defending Palestine, and that this responsibility lies solely with the state, as it holds the mandate for such efforts. 'We will not forget the blood of our martyrs, nor those who tried to exploit the nation,' he declared. He further emphasized that the Jordanian state is solely responsible for determining how support—whether financial, political, or organizational—is extended to the Palestinian people. Maaytah also highlighted the importance of allowing all political groups and viewpoints to exist in Jordan's public sphere, provided they respect the Jordanian state, its constitution, and its laws.

Legal expert outlines repercussions for Muslim Brotherhood financial scheme in Jordan

In the ongoing investigation by Jordanian authorities into the Muslim Brotherhood's illegal activities in Jordan, legal expert and former Minister of State for Legal Affairs, Mahmoud Al-Kharabsheh, stated that the group is 'fundamentally illegal,' a status affirmed by an earlier and definitive Court of Cassation ruling, the highest legal court in Jordan. Speaking to Roya, Al-Kharabsheh explained that the banned group allegedly used millions of dinars in illicit activities, with around 30 million dinars collected through various suspicious methods. This included registering funds in the names of individual members through direct ownership or company shares. Investigations have revealed that some of these funds were used to finance suspicious campaigns in 2020, as well as support activities and cells that have since been apprehended and referred to the judiciary. Al-Kharabsheh noted that authorities seized approximately 4 million dinars that an individual attempted to hide in a home north of Amman. He added that these collected funds, mostly gathered from citizens, were purportedly intended for Gaza. Expected Legal Consequences and Implications Regarding legal consequences, Al-Kharabsheh emphasized that the group is completely unlicensed and its existence is illegal. He anticipates that the judiciary will issue just rulings against the group, which exploited unofficial circumstances to violate the law. He highlighted that operations were conducted secretly, involving the transfer of funds abroad via currency exchange shops and investments in apartment purchases, among other methods. Al-Kharabsheh expects several laws to be applied against the group, including the Associations Law (which penalizes illegal fundraising), the Anti-Illicit Enrichment Law, the Anti-Money Laundering Law, and the Penal Code, which punishes such illegal activities. Concerning the potential impact on the Islamic Action Front Party, Al-Kharabsheh indicated that investigations revealed the banned group used the party's premises to cover its activities. Should a connection between the banned group and the party be proven, the Independent Election Commission would take appropriate legal action under the Political Parties Law.
