Beirut’s "A1 Nahar” puolished on the 17th December the following

" tfe are informed from Bahrain of the growing activities of the
nationalists asking for the realization of their revendications. Fights
took place on several occasions oetween the police and population. The
Government has arrested the leaders of the party, among whom are the
most honoured notabilities of the town. They are imprisoned at the
Citadel and the situation is very difficult.
Public opinion is roused against the British Agent Pankrif who
has established himself as the Dictator of Bahrain. He is the
Government. He does what he wants. The Amir has but a fictitious
authority. The British Agent’s government is absolute tyranny. The
population is oppressed and anybody daring to protest is severly
punished. The cup is full. The population openly shows its discontent
and claims its autonomy and its right to progress whatever sacrifices
it may Imply.
The British ..gent has gone as far as to intercept telegrams of
protestation sent by the nationalists to the London Government.
We draw the attention of the British Government to Mr. Pankrif’s
lawless doings in Bahrain. No conscience can tolerate such a situation
similar to that imposed in Palestine by British soldiers and their
leaders. The ;urabs of Bahrain want their rights at any cost."
