Sir,
I have the honour to inform you that I have
beer instructed by His Excellency Shaikh Hamad to
forward to you three netitions from some of his
subjects v/ho are living in Persia who complain of
the ill treatment to which they are subjected to
by the Persian Government.
The petitions ere incorrectly addressed to
tho Adviser, but their evident intention is to
constitute an appeal to the Government of Bahrain.
H. E. Shaikh Hamad wishes me to draw your
attention to a comnarison of the conditions of his
subjects residing in Persia and those of Persian
nationals resident in Bahrain.
Persians in Bahrain enjoy equal privileges and
rights to the Shaikh’s own subjects. They are
allowed to have their own schools, which are notor
iously hot-beds of anti-Bahrain propoganda, they
occupy positions on councils, they sit on Courts,
they are at liberty to buy and possess property,
