AMMAN, Jordan — Thousands of supporters of Jordan’s King Abdullah II took to the streets of the capital Saturday to express their loyalty, as an opposition protest movement demands political reforms and new elections.
The 7,000 people sought to put on a display that would counterbalance scenes a day earlier when security forces and government supporters clashed with thousands of anti-government demonstrators.
One person died in Friday’s protests, and the government said he was one of its supporters and that he died of a heart attack. But Khairi Saad’s brother said Saturday that he was among the anti-government demonstrators, and an Islamic opposition group said he was beaten to death by police. The Associated Press
