Imad al-Adwan asked that his family be informed that he is feeling well and that his legal and humanitarian rights are being respected.
The Jordanian Ambassador to Israel on Tuesday, April 25, met with a member of the parliament of the kingdom, Imad al-Adwan, who was detained on suspicion of arms smuggling.
This is reported by the portal Walla.
According to the report, the Jordanian Foreign Ministry said the member of parliament told the ambassador that he was in good health and that he was not being physically or mentally abused at the time of his arrest. The deputy asked to inform his relatives that he feels well. The Jordanian Foreign Ministry said that the legal and humanitarian rights of the parliamentarian are respected.
As Cursor reported, a Jordanian MP was detained last week at the Allenby border crossing on suspicion of trying to smuggle gold and weapons. The Israeli military took steps to detain the violator. Member of the lower house of the Jordanian parliament, Khalil Hussein Atiya, known for his anti-Israeli positions, called on Israel to immediately release the detainee.
In the past, Atiyah has spoken to his fellow lawmakers and praised 20-year-old Palestinian terrorist Umar Abu Leelah, who killed two Israelis and wounded a third in a twin attack in Samaria a few years ago.
Later, Cursor wrote that pictures appeared on social networks of what the security forces found during a search of the car: dozens of pistols, M-16 machine guns and a large amount of gold. According to witnesses, the deputy, who had VIP status when crossing the border, did not expect his car to be searched.
The customs services received operational information about the contraband cargo and carried out a search, as a result of which weapons and gold were found. The deputy was detained and sent for interrogation to the Shin Bet, where they find out who ordered the smuggling and whether the deputy had done it before. According to journalists, the security forces detained the Jordanian Bedouin Imad al-Adwan.
