»Ve beg to inform your honour that we have been
subjected to a great trouble and aggression by the
Persian Officials. They confiscated our papers
(Nationality certificates ?) which were given to us
by the Bahrain government and in the absence of our
sons they got them registered. They (Persians) regist
ered some by force, attacked them in their houses,
imprisoned and beat them® A witness by name Saiyid
Kusain bin Jum f ah who was born in Bahrain was killed.
Petitions were previously submitted to you requesting
that you will save us from the trouble which they have
been creating for us and to defend our case, an act of
kindness lor which we would be grateful, he expected
to get the pass or that an advocate is appointed to
defend us against the trouble to which we have been
subjected oj them(persians) who have also threatened
to do more harm to us. he are now like prisoners on
account of the threat anclinsult whicli have received
whereas their subjects are enjoying peace and rest
in your country. Luring the last five years we never
enjoyea rest or peace and we have no mere patience and
no hope for anything, he know that you can settle our
matters with them and that any one who is under your
protection will not be subjectioAo humiliation and trouble,
^ut to our bad luck you appear to have over looked our
case. If we have no one to defend our case and no pass
witn us and that we cannot seek protection under you, we
request you to obtain permission for us to remove our
- ^milies from dersia and thus leave our properties oehind
and go to any place which you fix for us, where we can
settle down and live with our families rather than to
leave our nationality and become Persians and have our
sons embrace the Persian nationality.
