Jordanian military prosecutors on Friday charged an outspoken former MP with incitement against the regime and calling for a revolt, a judicial official said. “State security court prosecutors charged Ahmad Abbadi with inciting the public to oppose the regime and urging a revolt during a protest for military retirees last month,” the official told AFP. “Three retired officers have filed an official complaint against Abbadi, after he publicly said the revolt starts with the retirees.” Abbadi, a controversial MP who served in parliament from 1989 to 1993 and from 1997 to 2001, faces 15 years in prison if convicted.
