The Amman Court of First Instance on Sunday approved an appeal to cease the prosecution of the Jordan Teachers Association (JTA), as a subject of public law, for all crimes, but upheld a 2020 decision to dissolve the syndicate's Council, central body, and branches.
Regarding an appeal filed by members of the JTA council challenging their one-year prison sentences for illegal assembly and inciting hatred at educational institutions, the court upheld the decision in principle but reduced the sentence to three months instead of one year.
Before commuting the sentences, the court said that it had taken into account the age of the convicts and its desire to give them a second chance.
