Dubai: The Amman Criminal Court on Thursday issued a ruling dissolving the Jordanian Teacher’s Syndicate and sentencing all its members to one year in prison on charges of corruption, incitement and other criminal activities, Jordanian media reported. The syndicate’s members have been charged with embracing an Islamist agenda following their one-month long strike and sit-ins in September 2019 that led to the closure of public schools for more than a month. Shortly after the court’s decision, lawyer Bassam Fraihat who represents the syndicate announced that the council members have been granted bail. He said the court has agreed to grant bail to the members following the initial judicial decision.
