marking the "Nakba," or Catastrophe, as Arabs
refer to the creation of Israel 60 years ago.
Several pro-Palestinian groups and Jordanian
opposition parties has been planning to hold a rally
in Amman on Friday.
But the authorities informed the organizers of the
decision to ban the event, as well as other
"illegal public gatherings."
The Islamic Labor Front, which was planning
a major rally in the capital, condemned the ban
as unconstitutional.
The party expressed outrage over the decision,
noting that the Jordanian government had allowed
the Israeli Embassy in Amman to celebrate Israeli
Independence Day.
Earlier this year, Jordan banned relatives of
Ala Abu Dhaim, the Palestinian who killed eight
and wounded eight at Jerusalem's Mercaz Harav
Yeshiva on March 6, from mourning him in public.
The relatives were warned against receiving mourners
in a public place for the gunman, who was killed in the attack.
thats so disgusting. however, i expect no less from the sell-out jordanian regime.
