Jordanian activist Majd al-Faraj has been arrested by Jordanian authorities for his pro-Palestinian activism, according to his supporters.
Majd al-Faraj was a leading voice in the pro-Palestine protests in the country "chanting what many Jordanians think and demand" said Samar Saeed in a post on X, adding that the chants included "No to normalisation with Israel, no to Israeli embassy in Jordan, no to American imperialism."
Jordan was one of the first Arab countries to normalise relations with Israel in 1994.
