Jordan: Hiba Abu Taha, woman journalist sentenced to one year under cybercrime law

Hiba Abu Taha, a prominent Jordanian journalist, was sentenced to one year in jail, under Jordan's contentious cybercrime law. The ruling came in response to her investigative report, “Partners in genocide... Jordanian capital involved in genocide in the Gaza Strip" which exposed Jordan’s alleged role in exporting goods to Israel through a land corridor.

She was charged with “inciting strife and spreading false news”.

Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, have called on Jordan to end its targeting of journalists and pro-Palestine activists.
