FREE TOUJAN FAISAL NOW
======================
Last week the government of Jordan arrested the former parliament member and
one of the most vocal opposition Leaders of the Jordanian people Mrs. Toujan
Faisal, for the simple reason of writing an article criticizing the policies
of the government. In recent weeks, the government of Jordan has instituted
sweeping measures restricting press freedoms and free speech by issuing
government decrees preventing people from expressing themselves in any form
including demonstrations.
We call upon all people who value freedom and democracy to demand that the
government of Jordan immediately release opposition leader and the former
parliment member Toujan Faisal, and all prisoners of conscience in Jordanian
Jails.
