The Sultan is immune from prosecution and cannot be compelled to testify before a court of law. The same immunity extends to princes but he can waive that immunity and allow conventional courts to try them. Nevertheless, there are crimes for which the Council of State has the power to compel the Sultan to abdicate. These include crimes such as bestiality, idolatry, blasphemy, homosexuality, adultery, and treason. |
