Appeal from IOM employees to Ministry of Foreign Affairs
However, this decision does not imply silence or a relinquishing of rights. The employees have immediately reached out to the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, urging it to fulfill its responsibilities and urgently intervene with the management of IOM to ensure priority is given to the Jordanian employees' financial entitlements, which have been unjustifiably delayed. This delay has left many Jordanian families in dire financial circumstances.
Reliable sources speaking to "Ammon" revealed concerning unfair practices by the organization's management, indicating preferential treatment of non-Jordanian employees due to personal or diplomatic ties with the organization's director or certain foreign ambassadors in Jordan. These favored employees received their financial entitlements swiftly, while their Jordanian colleagues continue to wait for months without any response.
Moreover, "Ammon" has obtained official documents proving administrative interventions within the organization previously disrupted a vital reconstruction project for Gaza. These documents show that the official communication from the organization was initially rejected by the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Following direct intervention by "Ammon" to clarify the reasons for the rejection, the Ministry promptly corrected its stance and approved the project. This situation raises serious questions regarding the intentions and objectives of certain officials within the IOM in Jordan.
These alarming developments require immediate and decisive action from Jordanian authorities to ensure justice, transparency, and the protection of the rights of Jordanian employees, and to hold accountable all those involved in these unacceptable violations.

Jordan begins legal action over concealed assets linked to Muslim Brotherhood
Jordanian authorities have initiated a series of legal procedures targeting individuals suspected of hiding assets tied to the banned Muslim Brotherhood group, according to a source quoted by the Jordan News Agency (Petra). The action comes after the end of a one-month grace period on June 14, which was granted by the government-appointed dissolution committee. The Ministry of Social Development had called on anyone in possession of property or funds on behalf of the group to step forward and regularize their status before the matter was transferred to judicial authorities. During the grace period, several individuals submitted written statements denying ownership of certain assets. However, many acknowledged that they were holding properties and bank accounts on behalf of the banned group. In these cases, authorities reached settlements and redirected the assets to the Ministry's Associations Support Fund, in line with Article 25 of the Associations Law. Some individuals, listed as joint owners of land or real estate, reportedly admitted they were not the real owners but had been asked by the Brotherhood to act as proxies. Others, however, refused to acknowledge such arrangements and continued to claim ownership. In one notable case, people with authority over a joint bank account in a Jordanian governorate confessed that the funds were not theirs, but rather belonged to the group. The money was subsequently recovered and transferred to the government's fund through official channels. The source stated that anyone who knowingly conceals assets on behalf of the banned group could face serious legal consequences, including charges of money laundering and breach of trust. These charges may be applied particularly in cases where individuals reject the evidence presented to them, such as financial audits and expert reviews.
