5. The Bahama are prevented by the
Police from going to Mohammerah to complain
to the Consul there.
6. Some of the Bahama were taken away
and sent to the Army to become soldiers.
7. The chief men of the Bahama wish
to come to Bahrain themselves and appeal to
Shaikh Hamad for help, they have sent a peti
tion (enclosed) to him now asking him to
protect them.
8. Although the Persians destroy their
nationality papers and make them sign Persian
papers yet the Bahama would rather die than
become Persian subjects. w
I gather from my informant that the
Persians are anxious that their neighbours in
’Iraq should not know what is taking place as
the Persians take every opportunity of assur
ing ’Iraq officials that nothing whatever has
occurred. During the trouble the Persians
frequently asked the Bahama whether they ^
thought they were English and therefore should
be protected by the English.
The petition, a copy of which I enclose,
is signed by the chief men of the Bahrain com
munity in Qasbah.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
/f ■
Adviser to the Government.
