Jordan on Tuesday banned media coverage of a royal feud that ended with Prince Hamzeh pledging allegiance to his half-brother King Abdullah after being accused of “promoting sedition”. To safeguard the secrecy of the investigations being undertaken by the security services in relation to His Highness Prince Hamzeh bin Hussain and others, Amman s public prosecutor has decided to ban the publication of everything related to the investigations at this stage, the state news agency reported.
