AMMAN — Social Development Minister Reem Abu Hassan on Thursday formed a committee to investigate the escape of a minor on Wednesday from a juvenile centre. The ministry’s media centre said the committee started investigating the incident, adding that it is following up with relevant authorities to find the juvenile and return him to the centre.

Juvenile centres are not completely closed and allow their inmates to practise activities such as vocational training, sports and trips, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. The amended Juvenile Law has granted more rights to juveniles and replaced penalties with community service activities.
