Jordan s King Abdullah II owes Biden an explanation for imprisoned U S citizen

Print this article President Joe Biden should use his July 19 meeting with Jordan’s King Abdullah II to demand answers and true due process for an American citizen just given a 15-year prison sentence by a special military court. The Jordanian-born, U.S.-raised and nationalized Bassem Awadallah once had held high Cabinet posts under King Abdullah, but he was arrested April 3 and charged with sedition in a murkily convoluted case involving a supposed rift between King Abdullah and his half-brother, Prince Hamzah. Hamzah himself was not charged, and 16 of the 18 alleged conspirators were released, but Awadallah was kept in custody and subjected to an unusually fast, non-public trial in which he was not allowed to call witnesses. The court convicted him and sentenced him on July 12.
