Protesters attacked and wounded in Amman

Several Jordanian protesters were wounded after "loyalists" of the government attacked their camp as police stood by. According to AFP, some 500 young people from different movements had camped out to call for reforms to the current regime and for corrupt leaders to be put on trial.

They were camped out next to the Interior Circle, or Gamal Abdel Nasser Square, in Amman. At nightfall on Thursday, police attempted to disperse the youths, cutting off electricity to the square. Later, a group of about 50 men gathered nearby and started to throw rocks at the youths.
