Ammon News - The Lower House Friday expressed its rejection of all manifestations and behaviour of "lawlessness," acts of vandalism and attacks on public and private property, according to a statement.
The statement reads, "The House condemns and rejects all manifestations and behaviours of lawlessness, acts of vandalism and attacks on public and private property that we witnessed, and here, the House stands side by side and behind the valiant security services and their loyal men in countering the outlaws and pursuing them to get their punishment."
The House said, "He has risen, to the heights, as a martyr, the righteous son of the homeland, Colonel Abd Al Razzaq Abd Hafiz al-Dalabeeh - may God have mercy on him and dwell him in his spacious gardens - with the martyrs and the righteous, by the hand of the sinful treachery of the murderers and vandals who committed their heinous crime against one of the sons of the homeland."
The statement explained that the House is committed to freedom of expression that "will remain safeguarded and guaranteed to protect the state and its institutions within the framework of the rule of law and peaceful manifestations."
Nonetheless, it distinguishes between freedom of expression of opinion peacefully and what it described as "aggression, vandalism and lawlessness," which it added, "we reject."
