 Jordan University President Should Reinstate Ousted Director (Human Rights Watch, October 8, 1999)
According to the groups, Hamarneh was ousted in July as a direct result of political pressure from Jordan's prime minister, Abdur-Ra'uf Rawabdeh, and the chief of the General Intelligence Directorate, Samih al-Battikhi.
Our understanding is that research conducted by the Centre during Professor Hamarneh's tenure as director, as well as critical comments he has made as an independent political commentator and in his capacity as a private citizen, led government authorities to pressure the University to remove him.
Several of the Centre's reports generated controversial findings, including a survey showing a decline in the popularity of the government of Prime Minister Rawabdeh; a 1997 report placing unemployment levels at 27 percent, ten points higher than official estimate at that time of 17 percent; and a 1998 study on public perceptions of Jordanian-Palestinian relations.
