Tuesday, Prime Minister Dr. Bishr Al-Khasawneh, said during the Senate session that the “article relating to the criminalization of attempted suicide in the draft penal code tends to consolidate the idea of protecting the right to life, as a basic right that international covenants provide for its protection.”

This comes after many on social media criticized the new article.
