Dear Ambassador Dr. Alia Hatoug Bouran,
I am writing again to express my grave concern for Jordanian national Amer Jubran who was detained on May 5th, 2014 and has now been held for one month. His whereabouts remain unknown and he has had no access to a lawyer, phone calls, or contact with his family. He has not been charged with any crime. Amer Jubran is a long-time Palestinian activist and a well-known voice of dissent in the Arab world.
Jordan is a signatory party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Article 9 of the ICCPR prohibits arbitrary arrest or detention. The United Nations Office of High Commissioner on Human Rights has advised that Jordan should end its current practice of administrative detention. Jordan proclaims that it is undergoing democratic reforms and respecting civil liberties, however, Jordan’s use of arbitrary arrest and administrative detention continues to be criticized in ongoing reports by international human rights organizations.
Hundreds of people from around the world have joined the call for Amer Jubran's release, including the National Lawyer's Guild http://www.nlginternational.org/news/article.php?nid=594. State representatives, a U.S. senator, and the Massachusetts Black and Latino Legislative Caucus have written letters expressing grave concern about the violation of Mr. Jubran's basic rights to due process and to freedom of speech. Approximately 300 people including human rights activists and lawyers concerned about the violation of his basic rights have signed a petition demanding his release.
Despite promises to the contrary, the Jordanian Embassy has not responded to phone calls, faxes, or requests to meet regarding the status of Amer Jubran.
We are gravely concerned about the rights and safety of Mr. Jubran.
Mr Jubran has not been charged with any crime. He should be released immediately.
If he is to be charged, he must have immediate
1) access to a lawyer of his choosing and prompt setting of reasonable bail;
2) evaluation by health care professionals;
3) release of information regarding his whereabouts and condition; and
4) visitation/contact with his family.
I expect a response to these concerns promptly.
Sincerely,
