Jordan’s Foreign Ministry delivered Sunday an official complaint to Israel’s acting ambassador in Amman over Israel’s detention of two Jordanian citizens, Abdulrahman Meri and Hiba Abdulbaqi. The Ministry issued a statement saying it summoned the Israeli envoy and handed him a note protesting the detention, demanding their immediate release. Spokesman, Sufian Qudah, said said the Ministry is trying through all the diplomatic, political and legal means available to ensure a speedy release of the two nationals. They were arrested by Israeli authorities after crossing the King Hussein Bridge between the two countries. He added that the ambassador was urged to guarantee the protection of the Jordanians legal rights. Qudah pointed out that the Ministry and the Embassy in Tel Aviv are following up on the case on a daily basis, and embassy officials will visit Abdulbaqi and Meri in detention once the procedures are completed. He also explained that the Ministry was arranging a visit to Abdulbaqi’s mother and brother at their request, and that the Embassy in Tel Aviv was in daily contact with their lawyers and the Israeli authorities to follow up on legal procedures and ensure that their rights are protected.
