The release had come after families of the accused petitioned the palace for forgiveness.
Later on Thursday, state news operator Petra quoted Brig. Gen. Hazem Majali, the public prosecutor of the military court, as saying the defendants were freed “within legal frameworks and standards” based on the king’s “concern for the good of the country and citizen.”
Family members scrambled to pick up their relatives from the headquarters of Jordan’s General Intelligence Directorate on the outskirts of the capital, Amman.
“They were released with no charges. Hopefully they’ll be having
iftar in their homes tonight,” said Hisham Majali, from whose tribe two members were arrested. He referred to the traditional breaking of the fast held after sunset during the month of Ramadan.
