AMMAN — The
Lower House Freedoms Committee
Rapporteur Ahmad Qatawneh called on the House representatives to assume their
responsibilities and stop the government’s dominance over Parliament saying
that the government is “weak” and needs a strong parliament to hold it
accountable, according to Jo24.

Qatawneh said that the government has been “running
its business from a security standpoint in light of the prevailing defense
orders, and has been arresting individuals who express their views on social
media.”
Qatawneh expressed disbelief about security
personnel raiding homes and arresting people in an unacceptable manner, “making
us feel like we live in a country run by police,” cautioning against
diminishing freedoms during this year.
“Freedoms are being jeopardized,” he said, adding that this would lead
to a drop in Jordan’s standing on the freedom index by international
organizations.
