Jordan bans the activities of the Muslim Brotherhood group and seizes its assets.

Jordan's Interior Minister Mazen Al-Faraya announced today, Wednesday, April 23, strict measures against what he described as the "dissolved Muslim Brotherhood group," emphasizing that any of its activities will be considered illegal and subject to legal accountability.

This came during a press briefing where he read an official statement outlining the government's actions towards the group.

Ban on activities and seizure of assets

Al-Faraya confirmed that the government will immediately enforce the law against the group, including banning all its activities in any form, such as meetings or promoting its ideas.

He also announced the acceleration of the "Solution Committee" tasked with seizing the group's assets, both movable and immovable, based on judicial rulings.

Closure of offices and prohibition of dealing with the group

The minister emphasized the closure of all offices or headquarters used by the group, even if shared with other entities, warning that any dealings with them will lead to legal consequences.

He also cautioned the media, political forces, civil society institutions, and social media users against publishing any materials promoting or engaging with the group.

Revealing criminal schemes and seizing explosives

Al-Faraya revealed that investigations uncovered attempts by the group to "smuggle and destroy documents" to conceal its suspicious activities, in addition to seizing explosives manufacturing and testing by one of the group's leaders planning to target sensitive security sites in the kingdom.

He added: "The discovery of weapons and explosives stored in residential areas, missile manufacturing in the outskirts of the capital, as well as training and recruitment operations, are all matters no state can overlook."

Protecting national security and principles of tolerance

The minister explained that these measures are part of the state's responsibility to maintain security and stability, affirming that Jordan has always supported freedom of expression and party formation within the law, but the dissolved group has adopted "working in the shadows" threatening national unity.

He concluded by emphasizing the government's commitment to freedom of opinion and responsible political action, calling for "united efforts" to face challenges, and reminding that "moderation and tolerance are the basis of stability, while extremism leads to chaos."

These measures come after weeks of escalating security investigations into the group's activities, accused of compromising the kingdom's security.
