Torture and muder in Jordan: Tell Rania to include this on her silly and vapid postings on Twitter

"A Henderson couple is suing the nation of Jordan over the beating death of their son at the hands of prison guards in the Middle Eastern nation in 2007 -- a case that helped draw international attention to what critics call widespread brutality in Jordan's prisons...But the Sbaih lawsuit and a 2008 report from Human Rights Watch paint a different picture of a nation where they say prisoners are routinely tortured and where prison authorities are not adequately supervised by the government."Torture in Jordan's prison system is widespread even two years after King Abdullah called for reforms to stop it once and for all," Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch, said in the 2008 report. "The mechanisms for preventing torture by holding torturers accountable are simply not working."" (thanks Shihadeh)
