Talk:Human rights in Jordan

message: The article refers to "Jordan's laws against Jewish citizenship or land ownership".
Regarding citizenship, the article selectively quotes one article of the law that is only concerned with the West Bank. This article grants Jordanian citizenship to non-Jewish residents of the West Bank, following its annexation in 1950. The rest of the law does not discriminate against Jews in any way. So essentially, all the quoted article really provides for is a preferential treatment of West Bank Arabs during a specific period in the past (between 1949 and 1954) with regards to acquisition of citizenship, hardly an issue in an article about human rights in Jordan.
Regarding land ownership, as far as I can tell, according to , this is a reference to a law passed in Jordan in 1973 which makes the sale of immovable property to an Israeli punishable by death (Israel and Jordan were in a state of war at the time). The law does not target sale to Jews. The law has since been repealed, and today there does not appear to be any discrimination against Jews or Israelis specifically regarding ownership of immovable property.
The quoted sources make these accusations without providing any reference, and at least two of the three authors (Netanyahu and Kellner) have no expertise in Jordanian law. The third, Dershowitz, though a law professor, writes his accusation in a commentary column, not an academic publication. For such a grave accusation, that Jordan has antisemitic laws, I would expect a more substantial source.--Doron (talk) 07:50, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

message: At 10:23, 19 May 2011 changes were made to the lead of the article by 88.80.182.68 that dramatically changed its long standing meaning (since 1 July 2009). No explanation for the changes was given and no sources were cited. I considered simply reversing the changes, but after a quick glance at recent information from Amnesty International on human rights in Jordan it seems as if the most recent changes may be at least as accurate as the older long standing version. So for now, I'm going to leave the recent changes in place, flag the article as in dispute or out-of-date, and see if we can sort things out here.
Before:
:The record of human rights in Jordan  continues to be a matter of concern for many international human rights groups but there have been a series of reforms in order to address these issues. The Jordanian Government has proven to be very receptive to recommendations and reports issued by human rights watchdogs.  Jordan has made extensive reforms in order to address human rights violations like prison abuse and torture in partnership with the EU.  
After:
:The record of human rights in Jordan  continues to be a matter of concern for many international human rights groups, despite a few reforms in order to address such  issues. The Jordanian Government has not proven to be very receptive to recommendations and reports issued by human rights watchdogs, and the country has not made any substantial reforms in order to address human rights violations like prison abuse and torture.

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Human rights in Jordan's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "details":
From 2021 arrests in Jordan: 
From Abdullah II of Jordan: 
From Prince Hamzah bin Hussein: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 19:35, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
