Status Change Explanations
India: India’s status declined from Free to Partly Free due to a multiyear pattern in which the Hindu nationalist government and its allies presided over rising violence and discriminatory policies affecting the Muslim population and pursued a crackdown on expressions of dissent by the media, academics, civil society groups, and protesters.
Jordan: Jordan’s status declined from Partly Free to Not Free due to harsh new restrictions on freedom of assembly, a crackdown on the teachers’ union following a series of strikes and protests, and factors including a lack of adequate preparations that harmed the quality of parliamentary elections during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Jordan dissolves teachers' union and jails its board members

Mu’tasim Bishtawi.
Freihat confirmed at a later time that the court had already agreed to release the JTS Council members on bail, after they had been arrested upon the issuance of the initial ruling, and he affirmed that the appeal would be completed for the whole case within ten days.
On 3 January 2021, hundreds of teachers held a sit-in in front of the Parliament in the capital, Amman, demanding the annulment of the decision to dissolve the Syndicate Council and a stop to forcing activist teachers into retirement.
The Jordanian judiciary had decided, on 25 July 2020, to suspend the operations of JTS and closed its branches in all twelve governorates for a period of two years. In addition, the General Prosecutor of Amman, Hassan Al-Abdallat, issued a decision ceasing the work of the members of the JTS Council, the members of the Central Committee and the branch bodies, and ordered the formation of a temporary governmental committee to manage the JTS. This was followed by the arrest of all members of the Syndicate Council and many JTS leaders (including 13 members, and 15 detainees from among heads of branches, secretaries, and members of a Central Committee of the Syndicate), who were later released.

Five teachers in Jordan were sentenced to prison for leading protests calling for a salary increase.
The court sentenced the leaders of the national Teachers’ Syndicate to a year in prison on charges of incitement to hatred and unlawful gatherings, and ordered the teachers union to be dissolved. The five teachers were released on bail while they appeal the verdict and sentence.
The teachers were some of 13 union leaders who were arrested in July following protests in the Jordanian capital of Aman, which saw violent clashes between protesters and anti-riot police.
