With regard to the Supreme Court of Justice and Court of First Instance, ICHR has
documented a number of complaints about decisions issued by the Supreme
Court. And the PNA, both its security and civil branches, did not implement those
decisions upon writing this report. In addition to these decisions, a number of
administrative decisions were issued during the previous months of 2010, but the
Executive Authority has not implemented them.
3‐ Multiple Arrests or Referring to Different Judicial Bodies
Bringing the citizen before a number of judicial bodies is a violation of
fundamental human rights, where it is not permissible to present the person or
prosecute him on the same charge more than once. One example is Sulieman
Ahmad Ayoub, who reported that the General Intelligence Service arrested him
after he was detained by the Preventive Security Service for 28 consecutive days.
The same applies to Sami Awad Abed Al‐Muti Awad, who was arrested by the
General Intelligence, despite his arrest by the General Intelligence Service several
times. Asad Bashir Badran’s mother reported that the Preventive Security Service
placed her son in custody, although he was previously detained by the same
Service for the same charge.
4‐ Inspecting and Entering Houses without Legal Warrants
Through a number of complaints received during 2010, ICHR noticed that there
were a number of cases of illegal searches due to not showing search warrants,
ransacking the contents, and confiscation of property and funds without officially
registering those confiscated items. Citizen Mu’tasim Rayeq Zayed reported that
the Preventive Security Service confiscated a laptop and his computer from his
house, and special books, checks, scarf and hat. It was not written down in any
official minutes in accordance with Article (50) of the Criminal Procedure Code,
and this was after searching the house completely during the night, including the
surroundings, and his car. Another case is Yehya Ali Turkman who reported that
the Preventive Security Service entered the house at night without a search
warrant, in clear violation of Article (41) of the Criminal Procedure Code. The
amount of (2,900) Jordanian Dinars, computer, official books and papers were
confiscated from the house. Hathifeh Abed Al‐Jabbar Jarar noted that the
General Intelligence Service entered the bedroom and confiscated a laptop
without presenting any legal documentation.
