AMMAN – Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Knowledge Forum
(TAG-KF), a member of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Global (TAG.Global), in cooperation
with the Legal Gesture Initiative, has organized a workshop entitled
“Cybercrime Law in Jordan”.

The workshop was part of TAG-KF’s role in
promoting and developing youth skills by holding awareness-raising and training
activities, in line with the directives of HE Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh,
TAG.Global founder and chairman, with the participation of a host of lawyers
and legal interns.

The workshop was presented by Lawyer Prof.
Dr. Mohammad Al-Maharmeh, who reviewed cybercrime concept, its characteristics,
types and elements, noting that “Cybercrime cases in Jordan are constantly
increasing, especially issues affecting the individuals’ personality such as
threats, extortion and character assassination, which are no less important
than other financial crimes or crimes that affect security and safety.”

This initiative was established by two
legal interns, Mss. Lamis Al Jabour and Rawan Al Tabanja, with the aim of
increasing awareness and spreading knowledge among the youth on this sort of
crime across a variety of situations and sectors.

Ms. Al Jabour expressed her pride in
cooperating with TAG-KF in holding such an important session, commending the
Forum’s efforts in supporting the youth as well as sharpening their creative
thinking in a way that contributes to building their future, in addition to
actively raising their awareness on various vital issues, including cybercrime.

For her part, Ms. Al Tabanja urged the
international community, and legal and regulatory institutions and agencies to
effectively join their forces to develop and implement strategies to combat
cybercrime, as well as to achieve digital security and justice in societies.
She pointed out that the current challenges require awareness of the risks
associated with this crime and its consequences.
