Amman: Minister of Government Communication and Government Spokesperson, Mohammad Momani, emphasized that the Jordanian state clearly distinguishes between freedom of opinion, as protected by the Constitution, and any actions or discourse that contravene the law, threaten national unity, or harm society.
According to Jordan News Agency, during a meeting at the Ministry with a delegation from the We Rise Center for Sustainability Development, Momani stressed that safeguarding national security is a collective responsibility within the framework of existing laws and regulations. He pointed out that Jordanian legislation is designed to address practices that could disrupt social harmony or incite discord.
Momani underscored that public awareness and educational initiatives serve as the first line of defense against hate speech and efforts to create divisions within society. He emphasized that Jordanian society is anchored in principles of moderation, tolerance, and acceptance of others-values that have historically protected it from incitement and polarization.
He further stated that preserving national unity is a non-negotiable priority, with the state committed to reinforcing the rule of law and enhancing society's intellectual and cultural resilience to maintain stability and social cohesion.
Amer Abu Dalou, head of the Center, along with members of the delegation, outlined the center's goals and programs. They stressed the significance of strengthening community and institutional efforts to combat hate speech and foster dialogue and social acceptance.
