The former crown prince of Jordan has said he has been placed under house arrest and his bodyguard has been arrested.

In a video clip transmitted to the BBC by the lawyer for Prince Hamzah bin Hussein, King Abdullah’s half-brother, the prince accused the country’s rulers of corruption and incompetence.

Jordanian security services have arrested Al-Sharif Hassan bin Zaid, former head of the royal court, Bassem Awadallah, and others.

The Jordanian News Agency (Petra), citing a security source, said the arrests took place for security reasons after close follow-up, saying “the investigation into the case is still ongoing.”
