Lawsuit filed against Israeli embassy in Jordan

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The Jordanian public prosecutor has launched an investigation after a Jordanian woman has filed a lawsuit against Israel’s ambassador in Jordan after she was detained and criminally abducted.According to the indictment, excerpts of which have been published by Jordan’s Al-Ghad newspaper, several of the embassy’s employees detained the woman, also an employee, for 24 hours and used psychological pressure to elicit confessions on a former female employee at the embassy who was involved in a corruption scandal.The prosecutor has confirmed that the woman endured psychological pressure while detained and questioned and was also threatened to be abducted.‘’No one in Jordanian soil may abuse or restrict its citizens’ freedoms,’’ Shakir al-Abadi, the woman’s lawyer, stated, citing the Jordanian constitution.It marks the first time a lawsuit has been filed against the Israeli embassy in Amman since the Israel-Jordan Treaty of Peace was signed in 1993./129
