Sir, |
In continuation of my letter Uo, 2/29/1031 dated the
7th September 1929 I have the honour to report that I was noti
fied on the morning of September 13th by the Governor of Mohamme.
rah that orders have been received not to harrass ra- weirds, ihe
Governor informed me that he would issue the necessary instruc
tions in order to stop the enforced registration.
As far as I know between 10 to 20 of the leading
Baiireini^ merchants have been forced to register tiiemseiioa.
I am preparing a list of these persons which I will forward when
completed with the request that the Persian Government may be
induced to cancel their registration.
This I consider most necessary to preserve the"s .i»t_s
quo" and to avoid plecine these Pahreinis, who were oo-erced,
at a disadvantage vis-a-vie their more fortunate compatriots.
Although this is satisfactory yet the illegal and
unjustifiable arrest and deportation of Haji Hamid, whom the
local Bahrein! merchants regard as their leader has absolutely
terrorised and dispirited all Bahreinis. »ith the example of
Haji Hamid's fate before them they feel that the only result of
resisting the demands of the police and of asking the Consulate
for help is to increase their own difficulties and to eajjose
themselves to imprisonment and deportation.
