I write in response to the Rights & Wrongs column. It seems that some imaginary and mischievous allegations are being made that give the impression that there is use of torture in Jordan, not only against Abu Qatada but others as well.
As a former minister of justice in Jordan, I made it my business during my period of service to investigate any ill-treatment, as I am deeply concerned with human rights.
If any of your readers are under any misconceptions, they may like to refer to the statement made by Abu Qatada’s mother, who welcomed the news that her son may be deported to Jordan to stand trial before the Jordan court, knowing he will get justice.
Jordan is an example in the whole area where the rule of law applies. This is a fact and should not be doubted.
