READ MORE: Jordan tribes break taboo by targeting queen: "Popular discontent in Jordan has taken a new turn with unprecedented public criticism of King Abdullah II's wife, Queen Rania, who stands accused of 'corruption' by large tribes.
'We call on the king to return to the treasury land and farms given to the Yassin family (of the queen). The land belongs to the Jordanian people,' 36 tribal leaders said this week in a joint statement.
By so doing, they have broken a taboo in the desert kingdom, where criticism of the royal family is punishable by a three-year imprisonment."
