“I had the great honor of serving my beloved country
and dear people in this capacity throughout the years of my life,” he wrote.
“I will remain as long as I live faithful to our
beloved Jordan.”

towards Jordan and His Majesty over the past years, including the incidents
that followed in the sedition case”.
A court in July sentenced Bassem Awadallah and Sharif Hassan
