Jordan Islamists continue to call for reform of regime
AMMONNEWS - Jordan's Muslim Brotherhood (MB) movement continues to call for reforming the Jordanian regime through peaceful civil activism, MB Comptroller Hammam Saeed said on Thursday.
During the Brotherhood's annual Ramadan Ifatar on Thursday, Saeed denounced all forms of violence and force used against pro-reform activists, stressing that the movement and activists in Jordan continue to commit to their demand of 'reforming the regime,' which entails a structural reform of the regime that arrives at a parliamentary government with real authority, safeguarding citizens' rights and freedoms from arbitrary detention and restrictions.
Saeed blasted the government's policy of arresting, detaining, and the trials of reform activists at the State Security Court, Jordan's military tribunal, and called for their immediate release, according to the report by Al Sabeel daily newspaper.
He criticized what he considered an instigating and mobilizing media campaign against the Islamist movement, and called on the government to halt its price hiking policies, warning of recent measures to increase electricity tariffs, increasing the financial burdens on citizens.
During the Iftaar reception, reportedly attended by over 1,100 Jordanian political, tribal, and social figures in addition to representatives of Islamist movements and civil society organizations, Saeed considered that the recent events in Egypt constitute a 'military coup on political legitimacy,' blasting it as void in all its measures.
He claimed that there is a rise in Arab, foreign, and Zionist role in supporting the coup, citing a continuation of campaigns against the Muslim Ummah and its unity and identity.
The Military coup came to 'confiscate' Egyptians' freedoms and free will in electing their president and consultative councils, Saeed said, blasting meanwhile Egypt's transitional government and military for arresting and detaining activists and blocking media outlets.
Saeed criticized Arab nations who rushed to congratulate Egypt's coup, coupled with Arab Gulf states who poured billions of dollars to the transitional government there, questioning meanwhile where these funds and aid were 'when the Egyptian people have suffered from poverty throughout the previous period.'
On the developments in the occupied Palestinian territories, Saeed denounced the continued Israeli violations and attacks against Al Aqsa Mosque, and criticized what he considered an absent role of Jordan 'which has been given religious custodianship over the Islamic sites in occupied Jeursalem.'
Saeed called for annulling the 1994 Jordanian-Israeli Wadi Araba peace treaty and put an end to all forms of normalization with the 'Zionist enemy,' according to his expression.
The Islamist leader also stressed the movement's support for the Syrian revolution, and blasted foreign intervention from Iran and Hezbollah 'transforming the battle for Syrian freedom to a sectarian war.'
