Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Jordan's Muslim Brotherhood movement and a number of youth and populist pro-reform movements on Wednesday called on activists and citizens to join them in a demonstration in downtown Amman on Friday to protest government policies.

The protest will be held on Friday, June 28th, in front of Al Husseini Mosque in downtown Amman under the banner of "The Security Approach Fuels Change."

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the organizers said that the protest aims to express support with detained activists and in response to the government's continued policies in raising prices and "pocketing public funds."

"The protest will express rejection of the regime's disregard of people's just demands, and to denounce its authoritarian approach and measures to silence free voices," the statement added.

The Islamist movement, along with a number of youth and populist pro-reform movements, carried out a large protest last Friday to protest government policies.

The main objective of the protest, as espoused by Islamists, was to support the people of Syria in their fight against the regime of Bashar al-Assad, and to denounce Iran and Hezbollah's military support for the regime there.

Yet the participation of a large number of Syrian nationals in the protest stirred controversy and denunciation from the government when the Syrians reportedly joined Jordanians in chanting slogans against the government and the Jordanian regime.

Interior Minister Hussein Majali earlier this week warned Islamists during a meeting with the leadership of the Brotherhood's political arm, the Islamic Action Front, of allowing non-Jordanians to interfere in domestic affairs, emphasizing that Jordan will not allow "those who seek refuge in its safety and security" to meddle in domestic affairs.
