The EU-funded CyberSouth project held two trainings in Jordan last month. The first training was dedicated to Jordanian legal framework on cybercrime and was held on 18 November in Amman. The meeting facilitated in depth discussions on the gaps of the current legislation on cybercrime and electronic evidence, as well as on the draft law.
