The defense commission's media spokesman, lawyer Muhammad Al-Majali, said Tuesday that a number of the team's lawyers met five of the eight detainees accused in the 'sedition case.'

Majali added the five detainees have signed power of attorneys in order to have their case defended and plead for before the State Security Court (SSC).  

The defense commission was formed to defend those accused in the case.

Monday, Majali said in a statement to Roya that the team, which was formed and authorized by the families of eight of those arrested, would not be able to meet with them until they have officially signed for power of attorney.

Majali pointed out that the commission was unable to meet three of the detainees for reasons that will be disclosed in a statement later today.

He stressed that the health conditions of all detainees are good.

Notably, lawyer Alaa Mamoun Al-Khasawneh, in previous statements Monday, revealed his official power of attorney to defend Sharif Hassan bin Zaid, who was arrested in connection with the case.

According to Al-Khasawneh, he was able to meet his client and take his signature for power of attorney in person, indicating that his client is in good health.
