Bassam Fraihat, legal counsel and lawyer of the teachers, confirms, on December 31st, that the Jordanian Court decided to dissolve the teacher's syndicate and imprison its board members for one year.
The court’s decision followed the council’s demand for a pay raise that has been accorded with the government in October 2019.
The Jordanian authorities, after many investigations, had previously arrested the board members for a month, dissolved, and closed down the syndicate last August.
The investigations included charges of "financial abuse" and "inflammatory measures." The defendants rejected the allegations before the case was transferred to court on the fifth of August. 48 hours before releasing the verdict, 2000 protestors marched to the syndicate’s headquarters asking for the execution of the agreement between the government and the Syndicate that was signed in October 2019.
