Ammon News - Emanating from His Majesty King Abdullah II’s keenness on interests of the country and the citizen, the Public Prosecutor of the State Security Court (SSC), Military Judge Brigadier General, Hazem Majali, has released 16 defendants involved in the so-called 'sedition' case within effective legal frameworks.

As for Bassem Awaddallah and Sharif Abdul Rahman Hassan bin Zaid, who were also detained in relation to the case, Majali said these two defendants were not released due to their "different roles, the kind of their indictment sheets, and the degree of incitement that differs from the rest of the defendants who were freed."
