Jordan minister resigns over planned media curbs

None

Jordan's Information Minister Taher Adwan resigned on Tuesday in protest over proposed laws which he said restricted freedom of expression and were a setback to the government's reform plan.

 

"We were working on democratic laws and I was surprised at the drafting of new laws that restrict freedom of expression and lowers the ceiling of press freedoms," Adwan told Reuters. (Reuters)
