Amman’s prosecutor general says ban on publication involves all audiovisual media and social networks.
The prosecutor general in Jordan’s capital Amman on Tuesday banned the publication of any information about an alleged plot said to involve the king’s half-brother, Prince Hamzah, state television said. “In order to keep the security services’ investigation into Prince Hamzah and the others secret, [it is decided] to ban the publication of anything related to this inquiry at this stage,” prosecutor Hassan al-Abdallat said in a statement read on state TV. “The ban on publication involves all audiovisual media and social networks, as well as the publication of all images or video clips relating to this subject on pain of legal action.”
