Man dies, 130 injured in Jordan clashes
Since January, left-wing activists have joined forces with nationalists and the Islamist opposition in calling for far-reaching political reforms and an end to what they say is rampant corruption.
More than 200 supporters of the Islamist movement and other groups demonstrated after Friday midday prayers near the Israeli embassy to push reforms and mark the 43rd anniversary of the Battle of Karameh with Israel.
“The government and the regime should realise that time is not on their side and it is on the country’s side,” Said Diab, leader of the Jordanian Popular Unity Party, told AFP as the protesters called for the expulsion of Israel’s ambassador to Amman.
