Jordan: 15 executions 'shocking' says human rights group
Human rights groups have condemned Jordan's mass execution of 15 people on Saturday. Human rights group Amnesty International said the executions by hanging had been carried out in "secrecy and without transparency." "The scale of today's mass executions is shocking and it's a big step backwards on human rights protection in Jordan," said Samah Hadid, deputy director of Amnesty International's regional office in Beirut.
