Amman on Thursday (April 4th) called for the release of 30 Jordanians detained in Syria without clear reason, AFP reported.
The kingdom's foreign ministry said it had summoned the Syrian embassy's charge d’affaires, Aymen Alloush "for the fourth time in a row to demand the release of 30 Jordanian citizens... detained without clear reasons", ministry spokesman Sufyan al-Qudah said in a statement.
All of them had crossed into Syria "for tourism or a visit" after Syria and Jordan reopened their shared border in October, he added.
Amman has repeatedly contacted Syrian authorities "through diplomatic channels" to demand their release, al-Qudah said, adding that Damascus had failed to clearly respond.
