AMMAN — The State Security Court (SSC) on Wednesday charged two Jordanians with attempting to incite violence.

SSC Prosecutor General Ali Mubaideen charged two Zarqa residents with “intention to incite violent acts, and the destruction of public and private property” for their involvement in protests in the city in February.

According to defence attorney Taher Nassar, the two men, both members of the Al Zawahreh and Khalaileh Tribal Moment for Reform, were detained for over three weeks before the charges were filed.

The defendants, who requested to remain unnamed, are expected to issue a not-guilty plea at their opening trial, slated for April 28.

According to activists and attorneys, 60 supporters of the pro-reform protest movement currently face charges at the State Security Court.
