US embassy cable - 03AMMAN7422

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT: DEMARCHE TO JORDAN ON UNGA 3RD COMMITTEE IRAN 
RESOLUTION 
 
REF: STATE 317277 
 
PolCouns November 16 covered ref points on Canada's draft 
Iran human rights resolution in the UNGA Third Committee with 
Ali al-Ayed, Director of Foreign Minister Marwan Muasher's 
Private Office.  PolCouns emphasized the deterioration of 
Iran's human rights record over the past year, including the 
arrest of demonstrators, journalists, and pollsters, the 
beating death of a Canadian journalist while in custody, and 
continued discrimination against minorities.  He asked that 
Jordan support the resolution.  Ayed noted that Jordan 
usually votes with the Arab bloc on Iran resolutions, but 
promised to have the resolution reviewed to see whether 
Jordan could support it or abstain.
