U.S. lawyer Michael J. Sullivan, defending Jordan's former royal court chief, said a 15-year jail sentence against his client passed by a military tribunal on Monday lacked transparency and justice.
U.S. citizen Bassem Awadallah was "beaten and tortured", forced to sign a fabricated confession and denied a fair trial to refute prosecution charges, Sullivan said in a statement sent to Reuters.
