More than 65 days after their arrest by the Jordanian authorities, cadres of the Jordanian Communist Party remain under detention in a clear case of political persecution and anti-communist repression.
Among those detained are Political Bureau members Dr. Omar Awad and Osama Zain al-Din, along with student activist Bahaa Hisham Ahmad. The Jordanian Communist Party has repeatedly denounced the arrests as arbitrary, unlawful and politically motivated, stressing that the comrades were detained without any legal justification.
