On August 12, 2023, King Abdullah II ratified a new cybercrime law, Law No. 17 of 2023, which threatens Jordanians' freedom of expression, their right to anonymity, and their right to access information. The law does not meet international human rights standards nor principles which are included in the country's previously ratified digital rights conventions. It took effect on September 13, 2023. The law is being used to harass and arrest Jordanians participating in the current pro-Palestine protests across the country. This new bill, consisting of 41 articles, sought to replace the Cybercrime Law No. 27 of 2015. Although the government's intentions were to combat online crimes and protect societal interests, the swift passage of this law without public debate or dialogue with political parties and civil society organizations has raised significant concerns among various stakeholders.
