Ammon News - The Magistrates' Court of Amman on Thursday issued a decision to dissolve the Teachers Syndicate and to imprison all its council members for one year due to the charges against them.

Lawyer for Teachers’ Syndicate, Bassam Fraihat, confirmed that he has filed an appeal in the court against the judicial decision regarding the dissolution of the council and the imprisonment of its members.

The court has agreed to grant bail to the members following the initial judicial decision, he added

It is worth mentioning that on July 25, Amman’s Attorney General, Hassan Al-Abdallat, decided to suspend the works of the syndicate members and to close its headquarters for two years.

He also issued a subpoena for the members of the council, in order to present them to the public prosecutor.

The temporary committee formed to manage the affairs of the suspended syndicate had said that issuing any judicial orders or charges against any member of the council is illegal and has no legal framework.

The committee confirmed at the time that any party claiming to represent teachers will be prosecuted.
