The Muslim Brotherhood have taken the streets of Jordan on Friday in a protest against corruption
The Muslim Brotherhood and the Jordanian Youth Movement have taken the streets of Jordan on Friday in a protest against corruption. The two organisations spoke in one voice, claiming to "overthrow oppression and corruption" as well as
protesting against "the lack of political freedom and the corruption in the government."
Participants to the demonstrations demanded rapid political reforms, the dismissal of the Assembly and an electoral law to have a elected parliamentary government.
They blamed the Jordanian government for not protecting the country and for letting criminal activities go unpunished. They said: "we reject the new governmental policies that restrain political and press freedom. We urge the government to stop delaying the implementation of the reforms that were demanded by Jordanian people."
The Muslim Brotherhood organised a peaceful protest, entitled "Moving on", which started after Friday's prayer in the center of the Jordanian capital Amman.
They will continue their peaceful movement only when their conditions are fulfiled, which includes bringing corrupt people to justice.
Representative of the Islamic movement Kazim al Shaer said that the government should speed up the reform process. He said the Islamic movement refuses to participate in the elections and urged the government to take action against corruption.
Mohamed al Makhzoumi, of the Popular Gathering for Reform, refused the the one person one vote system law, demanding a modern electoral law which really and actively represents the Jordanian people in the resistance Palestine and Syria.
