AMMAN — The Jordan Media Commission (JMC) on Wednesday circulated a gag order by the Military Judiciary to all media outlets, banning the publication of any news or reports on the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army, in exception of statements made by the official Army spokesperson.
The decision, which covers social media networks and other websites, was taken to achieve "public interest” in accordance to Article 47 of the Access to Information Act 2007 and Article 8 of the 1998 printing and publication regulation law.
