Jordanian jailed over Facebook comments
The Maan Court of First Instance sentenced the Jordanian defendant to three months in prison in absentia and fined him, after convicting him of committing crimes involving the publication and sending of offensive content via Facebook and Messenger. This content included exchange of words that insult the complainant and question his dignity, such as calling him a "dog" and a "donkey." Additionally, the defendant published a screenshot of his account with offensive phrases and external accusations. The court considered that the language and content posted violated the complainant’s dignity and fulfilled the elements of a crime as outlined in the Cybercrime Law. The claim for personal damages was rejected due to the lack of evidence of material and moral harm. The ruling includes imprisonment and fines and is subject to appeal.
