AMMAN — Senate President Faisal Fayez on Sunday announced that he dropped cases against the individuals who "offended him and his family members" through "irresponsible and illegal comments" that were published in a news outlet on social media.
In a statement carried by the Jordan News Agency, Petra, Fayez said that he instigated a legal action to send a message that offending people and using swear words are a crime under the Jordanian law. He added that he dropped the charges due to the circumstances of families of alleged assaulters and following demands by mediators.
