Drafting new law against torture
الرابط المختصر

Law Group for Human Rights (Mizan) is working on drafting a new law against torture in penitentiaries and police stations for the purpose of gathering all torture-linked laws under one legislation.

Eva Abu Halaweh, Executive Director of Mizan, has explained that the attempts are to minimize efforts of active organizations against torture and to have laws under one legislation instead of amending established ones.

According to cases followed up by Mizan, "law organization in Jordan is not just with victims of torture in the Kingdom, and the penal codes that have been amended are not enough" Abu Halaweh added.
