Jordan was in the news last week. A U.N. human rights investigator stated that torture is both widespread and routine in Jordan, especially to extract confessions from terror suspects. The report also stated that security forces enjoy total impunity. The report which was written by Manfred Nowak, a United Nations special rapporteur for torture, called on the Jordanian government to investigate and prosecute all allegations of torture and ill-treatment and also make changes to domestic laws including the constitution.
Although, I reject the practice of any form of torture, the report was fishy to say the least. For example, Nowak's report demanded from the government of Jordan to desolate Al Jafr facility in the south. He called the latter "a punishment centre" which should be "closed without delay" due to extremely harsh conditions and routine torture practices. What Mr. Nowak did not know was that His Majesty the King actually ordered the closure of this facility in December last year and directed the authorities to transform it to a "rehabilitation center".
The report also failed to mention that Jordan was the only country in the region to provide an access to the UN to conduct its investigation. On that regard, Nowak's report was based on interviews with more than 40 detainees and senior officials in Jordan, and is to be examined by the U.N. Human Rights Council. The 47-member state forum opens its next four-week session in Geneva on March 12.
On the other hand, the government's response to the report was unprofessional and embarrassing to say the least. The Minister of foreign affairs denied the allegations immediately. Instead of promising an investigation or even studying the report, the government jumped to defend its policies and practices. The question of the day is if the Government will ever have a smart spokesman/woman to defend the country's interest and image.

Although all the time I don’t agree with these UN agencies which they are a proxy for US and Israel.
But to me most Arab regimes have to some degree harsh behaviours of injustice and unlawful behaviours with their citizens.
So that should not be forgotten, and give use the right to defend any regime, we need to be careful here your love for your country and your citizen should be clear and broad from regime fear and love or support.
I missed this report, thanks Issam!
Who is in charge of representing the country for responses like this?
Say,
I do not mind the UN reports. I think that countries should be accountable to the international body. The US got slammed many times from the UN for its treatment of prisoners in Guantanamo bay. In terms of choosing between citizenship and love for my country. I do not see this as a dichotomy. A good citizen will be the first to criticize its country on practicing illegal international treatment.
Again I am again practicing any form of torture period, that why I wanted the Government to conduct an investigation about it and see it as an opportunity to improve the status que.
Kinzi,
The government spokesman is Naser Jodeh. However the guy who responded immediately to the report was the minister of foriegn affaris!!!!
