Sf 9?^, -AL ISX.IKLAL" (Baghdad) 5.2.39. j
From f, Al Istiklal 1 * of Baghdad in its issue of February 5th:
M Traverllers from Bahrain bring the news that oppression of
the population is becoming unbearable there* Several young men have
been sentenced to severe punishments and others will be tried soon.
The arab element of the population is subjected to vexatious mea
sures and the present situation is almost that of a country under
military control. Meetings are forbidden to the ,xabs while foreigners
are free. The Arab's feeling of sympathy toward© Palestine has been
choked and they have been prevented to raise subscriptions for the
Palestine victims. The situation is terrible but the complaints are
overlooked. The Government is tyrannic and went as far as trying to
revive the old war of communities. They believe in the principle:
divide to rule. 11 Bahrain has its eyes turned to Iraq and firmly hopes
to put her fate in Iraqi hands.* 1
