Jordanian security forces disperse popular protest in Jordan Valley against aggression on Gaza & arrest dozens of people
Amman - Saba:
Jordanian security forces prevented on Friday afternoon, the holding of a popular rally in the area of the unknown soldier in the Jordan Valley near the border with occupied Palestine, to reject the Zionist aggression against Gaza Strip.
According to the Quds Press Agency, since Thursday evening, Jordanian security forces set up dozens of checkpoints on all roads leading to the Jordan Valley from all Jordanian governorates, and cordoned off the area of the Sahaba Mosque, which was designated as a gathering point for the event, and when it could not be reached, hundreds of Jordanians gathered in the vicinity of Abu Aisha Mosque, also located west of Amman, and organized a popular rally after Friday prayers.
After Friday prayers, the security services quickly dispersed the popular stand in front of the Abu Aisha mosque by force, and a number of people were arrested, including Ahmad Barakat, a member of the executive office of the Islamic Action Front Party (a Jordanian political party), Mustafa al-Saqer, a member of the executive office of the Islamic Movement (Muslim Brotherhood), and youth activists: Osama al-Hardan and Issa al-Jitawi, among others.
Hassan al-Riyati, a member of the Islamic Action Front, said: "At a time when Jordan needs to strengthen the internal front to confront the aggression and its expansionist plans towards Jordan, we see a sudden action by Jordanian officials to arrest participants in marches in support of Gaza and others who provide other forms of support for the resistance."
Al-Riyati added: "What is happening today is painful and we must maintain unity in defense of Jordan, as well as Palestine, and what is happening today of judicial rulings on charges of destabilizing relations with a friendly state, the Zionist occupation state, which will only be an eternal enemy to the entire Islamic nation, these are dangerous indicators that we must overcome, and decision-makers in our country Jordan must support the resistance and support everyone who moves for our people in Gaza, as the resistance in Gaza is the first line of defense for Jordan."
Abdul Qader al-Khatib, a lawyer for the IAF's Freedom Committee, said: "The banning of today's march is surprising and reprehensible because the event is peaceful and supports the official Jordanian position related to rejecting the Judaization of the West Bank, not changing the status quo in Al-Aqsa Mosque and stopping the aggression on Gaza."
Jordanian popular forces, including the National Forum to Support the Resistance, the Islamic Movement, the Popular Unity Party (a left-wing nationalist party) and a number of other popular events had called for a series of events that were met with prevention by the Jordanian official side, the last of which was today's march that was scheduled to reach the unknown soldier's square in the Jordan Valley.
About four weeks ago, the enemy resumed its aggression on Gaza Strip after a two-month truce and committed many massacres amid a total blockade of the Strip, to renew the Jordanian popular movement rejecting the aggression on Gaza.
