AMMAN The Amman Court of First Instance on Tuesday released five of the 13 defendants standing trial in the case of the oxygen outage at the New Salt Public Hospital, which resulted in the death of seven patients last month, one of the lawyers said.
The defendants are standing trial in the case on seven counts of causing death by association and for violating articles 343 and 76 of the Penal Code.
“The court decided to release the five defendants from custody because the law stipulates that they cannot be detained for more than one month based on the misdemeanour charges they face,” lawyer Amer Qudah said.
