Capital punishment in Jordan
In 2006 the Jordanian cabinet launched a plan to limit the number of capital offences from sixteen to ten.[3]
On 21 December 2014 eleven persons were hanged, all men which were convicted of murder in 2005 and 2006.[4][5] These were the first executions since June 2006, 122 sentences of capital punishment had been handed out since.[5] Shortly before the executions Interior Minister Hussein Al Majali had stated that capital punishment might be reinstated due to a major debate on the subject, and with the public believing that a recent rise in crime was caused by non application of the death penalty.[5] The lifting of the moratorium was criticized by human rights organisations.[6]Capital punishment is possible amongst others for murder, rape, terrorism, drug trafficking, treason and espionage.[3]In recent years most verdicts of capital punishment have been handed out by the State Security Court.[7] Cases in which capital punishment is sentenced receive an automatic appeal.[8]
Article 93 of the Constitution of
Jordan holds that "no death sentence may be carried out unless ratified by the King. Every such sentence shall be submitted to him by the Council of Ministers along with the council's view on it."[9]
Several categories of persons are excluded from being subjected to capital punishment. These are those under the age of 18, pregnant women, the mentally ill and mentally retarded.[1]In 2005 King Abdullah II of Jordan stated that: "in coordination with the European Union, we would like to modify our Penal Code. Jordan could soon become the first country in the Middle East without capital punishment."[9]
