Sir,
I have the honour to state that on my return from
Eushire, I found that the question of the protection of Bahar
na at Q,atif had ta.zen an acute form. #
2. It will be remembered that I had given a letter
of good offices to a certain genuine Bahraini, one Ahmed bin
*bbns, who hr.d not been interfrere^ with, but who feared that
he might be mo'ested. Directly I returned I wa.s told that
when he gave the letter to the Amir, the latter had ordered
him to be thrown into prison, saying T Let tne person who is
sued the letter come and release you. 1
3. "nother case has just occurred. One JAahsem bin
H f ji Ibrahim, a Bahrani born in Manamah and resident here,
went over to Q,atif on a Bahrain pass. He was forced to ta^e
out a ,T ejd pass describing him as a Nejd subject, and he was
also forced to pay a contribution of 60/- Rs as a contribu
tion to the Jihad. He has no property in ^atif, but owns a
mortgage over n house in which he iceeps an Iraqi wife. The
^atif authorities refuse to allow her to leave ^atif and re
turn with her husband to Bahrain.
4. In each case we have only heard one side of the
question, but there appears little doubt that the facts are
s stated, 3nd the action of the Nejd authorities has roused
the greatest resentment in Bahrain. H.E.Shaikh Hamad's first
