Daoud Kuttab, a veteran Palestinian journalist known for his work on press freedom and transparency, was detained at Amman airport in Jordan on 08 March 2022 under the Cybercrime Law due to a defamation complaint filed against him. Authorities briefly held Kuttab before releasing him later that same day; however, he was ordered to appear before a court in Amman, where a judge issued a temporary suspension of his arrest order. The authorities did not provide clear information regarding the nature of the complaint, reflecting the opaque and arbitrary application of the law.
