From Ammon News:
Riots erupted in night protest organized by youth pro-reform movement in Hay al-Tafaileh neighborhood in Amman, as police fired heavy tear gas to disperse the crowds and arrested four men.

Rioters set tires on fire, broke glass, launched fireworks at the police, threw explosive bottles, and attacked police cars expressing their anger at the arrest of 10 of pro-reformers in the past few weeks, according to Ammon News reporter.

Several of the detained activists were being tried by the State Security Court, Jordan's special military tribunal, on anti-regime charges.
Jordanian riots haven't quite made it on the radar, especially with what's going on in other Arab countries.

However, all it takes is one symbolic event that grabs people's imaginations, like the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi in Tunisia in 2010, and then all bets are off. If Jordanian police kill a protester, or rumors of torture start to spread, everything could change in an instant.
