Protesters express solidarity with Jordanians imprisoned in Israel

AMMAN — The committee of the families of missing and imprisoned Jordanians on Tuesday organised a solidarity sit-in with Jordanian prisoners in Israel Abdullah Abu Jaber and Akram Abu Zahrah.

The event, held near the Prime Ministry, aimed at highlighting Abu Jaber’s demands for release or transportation to Jordan to continue the remainder of his 20-year prison term, according to a statement from the media team supporting Jordanian prisoners in Israel, Fedaa.

The protesters also called on the authorities to follow up on Abu Zahrah’s case and contact the Israeli government over readiness to receive him after finishing his sentence last Thursday, the statement added.
