Jordan seizes property linked to banned Muslim Brotherhood
The committee's head stated that it received a request from the property's lessor indicating that the building had been rented by the dissolved association under a contract dated Jan. 1, 2006.
Upon reviewing the lease agreement, a ministry team visited the site on May 15. It found that the property was jointly used by the banned association and a political party, with a shared entrance and common facilities.
The committee's actions are in accordance with Article 11(b), Paragraph 4 of the 2010 bylaw governing the internal regulations of associations. This allows the committee to inventory all moveable and immovable assets, as well as debts owed to and by the association, in preparation for transferring them to the Associations Support Fund, as stipulated in Article 25 of the Associations Law.
According to this law, assets of a dissolved association must be transferred to an entity specified in its bylaws — either the Associations Support Fund or another association with similar objectives. If no such entity is named, or if transfer to it proves unfeasible, the assets default to the fund.

Authorities arrest individuals in Irbid linked to banned Muslim Brotherhood
AMMAN — Security forces on Monday evening arrested several individuals who had gathered at a private residence in Irbid, allegedly to discuss matters related to the dissolved Muslim Brotherhood society, according to official sources. The individuals were reportedly meeting at the house of a member of the dissolved Muslim Brotherhood society following an organised invitation that was under the surveillance of the relevant authorities, the sources said. 'The individuals were referred to the concerned judicial entity for further questioning and indictment.' Since the group was banned, relevant security entities have observed reported attempts 'to circumvent the ban by holding meetings under various pretexts, most notably holding meetings in the homes of regular cadres of the banned group in the form of "social events," according to the sources. In April, the government reverted to the Court of Cassation's decision in February 2020, to consider the Muslim Brotherhood society that was established on June 16, 1953, legally dissolved. 'Individuals who own assets that are affiliated with the dissolved Muslim Brotherhood society should contact the designated committee that was established by the Ministry of Social Development within one month,' the secretary general of the Ministry of Social Development, head of the committee, said. Otherwise, 'these individuals will be held accountable under the law,' he said. During the same month, Interior Minister Mazen Faraya announced the immediate enforcement of the law provisions on the so-called dissolved Muslim Brotherhood by considering it an illegal association. 'We decided to close all headquarters or premises that are used by the Muslim Brotherhood or sites that are shared with other entities, under penalty of legal accountability,' Faraya said at the time. He also announced during a press conference the banning of all activities related to the so-called Muslim Brotherhood and considered it an illegal association. Faraya called on the committee that is entrusted with seizing all assets related to the Muslim Brotherhood to expedite the process in accordance with the law. The minister also stressed that membership in the so-called dissolved Muslim Brotherhood is prohibited, as well as the spreading of its ideologies. He added that legal action will be taken against any individual or entity if the current investigations into the terror-related cases that were announced last week prove that there are connections with the suspects or the alleged plots. On April 15, the General Intelligence Department (GID) announced that 16 men, including some who were members of the Muslim Brotherhood, allegedly planned to cause chaos and sabotage acts in Jordan. The group was charged with terrorism and manufacturing explosive substances against the suspects involved in alleged plots targeting Jordan's national security. The GID had said that the 16 men were arrested following close intelligence monitoring since 2021.
