Human right groups criticised Jordan after the country ended an eight moratorium on the death penalty, with the hangings of 11 men convinced of murder. The men were said to have executed at dawn on Sunday in a prison close to Jordanian capital Amman, interior ministry spokesman Ziyad Zoobi said according to Petra news agency. The last executions in Jordan were 2006 and 122 people have since been sentenced to death. Rights group denounced the ending of the Moratonum.
