Government, NGOs’ representatives visit correctional centre

AMMAN — A delegation representing government institutions and local, regional and international human rights entities on Monday visited Swaqa Correctional and Rehabilitation Centre to learn more about the services for inmates and the progress achieved in this regard.

Basel Tarawneh, the government’s coordinator on human rights, said the visit was in line with the government’s policy to familiarise local, regional and international NGOs with government efforts, so that they keep track of the services offered to inmates in compliance with international conventions.

The visit was organised by the government’s human rights coordination office at the Prime Ministry, in cooperation with the Interior Ministry and the Public Security Department.
