10 | I lost hope in freedom of the press in Jordan a long time ago. | Efa ela aho no tsy nanantena intsony ny fahalalahan'ny fanaovan-gazety eto Jordana. |
11 | I can't remember exactly when but I think it goes back to my early twenties when I first joined the ranks of repressed Jordanian journalists. | Tsy tadidiko intsony hoe oviana, fa tamin'izaho roampolo taona tany ho any, fony izaho niditra voalohany tao ho isan'ireo mpanao gazety voatohitohina avy eto Jordana. |
12 | I have written about violations of press freedom on this blog many times, then I got tired of it. | Nanoratra betsaka mikasika ny fanohitohinana ny fahalalahan'ny fanaovan-gazety aho teto amin'ny blaogy, fa reraka aho avy eo. |

18 | Lina Ejeilat asks the following questions too: | Izao kosa ny fanontaniana napetrak'i Lina Ejeilat : |
19 | So it's against the law for the press to debate court rulings. | Hay mandika lalana izany ny mpanao gazety rehefa miresaka ny fitsarana. |
20 | But I'm a bit confused as to what this exactly entails. | Fa tsy azoko hoe amin'iza io no tena mihatra. |
21 | Don't we criticize reduced sentences in so-called honor crimes all the time? | Fa tsy mitsikera ny fitsarana foana ve isika amin'ny fanalefahana ny sazy rehefa misy “honor crime” ? |
22 | Is that against the law? | Mandika lalana ve izany ? |
23 | Of course, we all want to be living in a country where no one is above the law, but that doesn't mean the law is perfect the way it is and cannot be scrutinized. | Marina fa te hiaina amin'ny firenena tsy misy mihoatra ny lalana daholo isika, fa tsy midika akory izany fa tonga lafatra io lalana amin'izao io ary tsy azo kianina intsony. |
24 | Commenting on the law or criticizing it, and abiding by it are not mutually exclusive. | |
