Jordanian King Abdullah II has requested to forgive some of the sedition charges from the attempted coup earlier this month, led by his half-brother and former heir Prince Hazma and 16 people linked to the rift in the royal family that rattled the country earlier this month.

However, a member of the royal family and a former adviser to the king remained in detention, state media said on Thursday.

On Thursday, he tweeted "In this holy month when we all wish to be with family, I ask officials to look into the proper mechanism to have those who were misled into following the sedition, return to their families soon."
