Hassan Al-Abdallat, Amman's State Prosecutor, has decided to issue a gag order on Prince's Hamza Bin Al-Hussein to keep the secrecy of investigations conducted by security agencies in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
Al-Abdallat made a statement today, Tuesday, to Batra, a Jordanian news agency.
He said that the gag order will be in effect until another notice may be issued later.
The gag order includes banning publication by various media outlets along with social media platforms.
"Who breaches these restrictions will face decisive penal consequences", Al-Abdallat warns
Amman's Prosecutor indicated his decision based on the Penal Code and Law of Publications that permit the Public Prosecution to issue gag order at any stage of investigation into any crime that takes place in the kingdom.
On the other hand, Prince Hamza met with his uncle Hassan, former Crown Prince with the late King Hussein bin Talal days earlier.
The meeting is also attended by a number of the other royals.
Prince Hamza affirmed the supports of his half-brother King Abdullah II and commits to the Constitution as prioritizes the national interests of the kingdom.
However, Maj. Gen. Youssef Ahmed Al Henetty, Commander of the Jordanian Army, stressed that the military establishment and security agencies are able to deal with any attempts to deteriorate or break the peace of the country.
Activists on the social media websites traded a leaked conversation between Prince Hamza and Al-Henetey.
The Commander of the army warned the prince of talking to chieftains of bedouin clans and others.
The army leader spoke to the prince in a fully respectful manner and addressed him as my Sir many times.
He informed the prince that he talked to him on behalf of the army, security agencies, and intelligence services.
He assured that security agencies want the prince does not chat with angry persons in clans who criticize the Royal Family.
He made clear that he did speak in the name of the king.
