The security services of the regime in Jordan yesterday, Tuesday, 25/03/2014 CE have arrested two members of Hizb ut Tahrir from the confines of the House of Representatives and transferred them to the State Security Court. They are Doctor Nayef Omar Lafi (65 years old) and Brother Ibrahim Mahmoud Kharabsheh (55 years), who were among a delegation comprising members of the Hizb. The delegation was communicating with members of the House of Representatives and handed them a statement issued by the Media Office of the Hizb in the Wilayah of Jordan; outlining the party's stance against a draft law amending the Prevention of Terrorism Act and warning them of it and calling to stop it being passed - which was discussed by the House on the same day. Because it is an attempt to take the Ummah back to the state of humiliation that it was emancipated from since it is a chain in a series prepared and planned to separate the Ummah from its civilization project. It is prepared to fight all calls for resistance against the occupation and the expulsion of the Jews from the blessed land, and anyone who seeks to establish the Islamic State even in a peaceful manner, not to mention that it is an American product to fight Islam and Muslims.

It is a disgrace on the House of Representatives that the arrest of the sons of the Ummah from members of Hizb ut Tahrir takes place in front of the eyes of its members and with their knowledge. They were the ones who gave people headaches from boasting of their achievement to constitutional amendments; which claims that it prevents the arrest of people due to their opinion and prevents the trial of civilians before the State Security Court and military courts. The security services of the regime have trampled on their constitutional amendments before their eyes and arrested the sons of the Ummah from the confines of the House of Representatives, which is described falsely and slanderously as the "House of the People and the House of the Ummah".

We in Hizb ut Tahrir, regarding this measure by the security services, say to the regime that the arrests, imprisonment among others measures will not distract Hizb ut Tahrir from its work and we will further work and carry the call of dawah. You also have evidence from the long history of the party's political struggle. Rest assure that Hizb ut Tahrir will remain the party that will expose the lie of political reform. We also emphasize that Hizb ut Tahrir will remain the leader that does not deceive its people contrary to the so called the House of Representatives.

As for the House of Representatives, we say:

You seem to have become accustomed to disappoint the people regarding their issues, and became dedicated to establish what harms and increases their subjugation. It is enough for you to wear the clothes of shame that the system insists that you adorn yourself with despite its hideousness and corruption.

((وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ اللَّهَ غَافِلاً عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ الظَّالِمُونَ إِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ لِيَوْمٍ تَشْخَصُ فِيهِ الْأَبْصَارُ * مُهْطِعِينَ مُقْنِعِي رُءُوسِهِمْ لَا يَرْتَدُّ إِلَيْهِمْ طَرْفُهُمْ وَأَفْئِدَتُهُمْ هَوَاءٌ))

"And never think that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them for a Day when eyes will stare [in horror]. Racing ahead, their heads raised up, their glance does not come back to them, and their hearts are void." [Ibrahim: 42-43]
