Article 13a bans citizens from obtaining information that contains secrets and protected documents.

Article 13 also prohibits citizens from obtaining:
b: classified documents;
c: special secrets related to national defence, state security or foreign policy;
d: information that contains analysis, recommendations, suggestions or consultations which an official possesses, but has not decided upon. This information also includes correspondence and information exchanged among different governmental departments;
e: information and personal files related to people’s educational, medical or employment records as well as their accounts, bank transfers or professional secrets;
f: personal correspondence with government departments through mail, telegrams, phone or any other means;
g: information whose disclosure would impact negotiations between the kingdom and any other state or party.”

But the killer is that they didn’t define anything in the law, so classified documents can be anything, special secrets can also be anything, but can you please read E carefully!!

I really do think that jordanian citizens need to have a special newspaper covering the laws that are being endorsed by the so called ” parliment” since those MPs are not real represantatives, for example this article should have came before the law was endorsed not after!!
