HRC 57 Oral Statement Jordan: Six members of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light to be tried as heretics
We are deeply concerned about the arrest in Jordan in late July of six members of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light, a new religious movement founded 25 years ago.
They were just distributing in public in Amman flyers which simply described traditions related to the appearance of Imam Mahdi.
They were detained in unhuman conditions, mice and rats infesting their cells. They were released on bail after about three weeks of detention. But they were forced to pledge a payment of 70,000 US Dollars, should they ever publicly express or propagate again their religion.
