The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) condemns the arbitrary arrest of two members of the Political Bureau of the Jordanian Communist Party, Omar Awad and Osama Zeineldin, as well as student Bahaa Hisham, by the Jordanian authorities on the night of Sunday, March 8, 2026.
A statement by the International Relations Section of the Central Committee, published in 902 portal, stresses out:
“This is a dangerous development that reflects the ongoing escalation of repression, the restriction of the political activity of communists, and the violation of popular rights by the Jordanian state under conditions of intense war involvement.
We demand the immediate release of the three comrades and express our full solidarity with the communists of Jordan and the other militants who struggle for political and social rights.
Hands off the communists of Jordan!”.
