State Security Court

The State Security Court is a judicial institution in Jordan. It deals with cases regarding state security, but also with drug offences and other types of cases. The defendants in the court can be both military personnel as well as civilians.

The Court has faced criticism for lack of independence from the executive, unfair trials, and civilians being defendants in a militarized court.
