Human Rights Watch praises Jordan for executing 11 people

"“With these executions, Jordan loses its standing as a rare progressive voice on the death penalty in the region,” said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director. "  A rare progressive voice on the death penalty in the region?  Does Sarah think that there is one Arab out there who consider Jordan a progressive voice on anything at all?  What do you do.  Regimes that are allies of Israel and US get praised by human rights organizations even when they execute 11 people in one spectacle.
