Overview

Jordan escalated its crackdown on the rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly, detaining and prosecuting thousands of individuals for criticizing the authorities, expressing pro-Palestine sentiments or participating in peaceful protests. Hundreds were held in administrative detention without charge or access to due process guarantees. Political parties were dissolved. Women and girls continued to face discrimination in law and practice. Refugees and asylum seekers faced deteriorating conditions, including due to funding cuts. Jordan remained vulnerable to climate change, which threatened its water resources.
