Store owners in the "Nada" and "Sukkar" markets in Amman, Jordan, closed their shops on Monday (November 23) in protest against the newly introduced ban that prohibits them from placing stalls or displaying products in front of their stores.

The new law only allows store owners to display items at a distance of 30 centimeters or less outside their shops, which they describe as a "breach of their rights."

According to local media, business owners later reopened their stores after successful negotiations with officials at the Greater Amman Municipality.

Store owners will be able to display products in front of their stores in a way that does not hinder the movement of pedestrians.

Owners of stores in the "Nada" and the "Sukkar" markets in Downtown Amman closed their shops on Monday in protest against the newly introduced ban that prohibits them from placing stalls or displaying products in front of their stores. The law now only allows them to display items at a distance of no more than 30 centimeters outside their shops, which they describe as unfair and a 'breach of their rights.'
The decision was made with the aim of removing all obstacles that block pedestrians' way on the streets and sidewalks.
