Thank you very much for y
Governor has had orders not to worry the Balirainis but I'm
afraid the damage is done. .No Iraqi or Bahrain! dare come
near me and I 'm watched by thepolice the v/hole time. It
is pretty sickening as if only the registration had been
stopped straight off, Haji Hamid, is theleader of the
Bahrainis here would never have been arrested and deported.
I feel that I've been made a fool of by these slimy Persians
I
I do hope that the Chief of Police is shifted.
Though orders have been given it is 1 think pretty clear
that the police mean to carry on intimidating Iraqis and
Bahrainis but hope to terrotise them so much that they dare
not come to me to complain. Hence the guards round my
house. I actually had three soldiers visiting my compound
3 times in the night but a word to the Governor has kept
them away now. The Governor General got hold of Haj i
Jassim, a leading Bahrain! here, and caned him for allowing
Bahrainii to come to complain to me and far causing such a
row.
J
I wish to Godour people in Tehran would insist on H j
Hamid's being brought back and on our people enquiring into
the police methods used. 1 go on fightinh btat the concentrat
ed espionage is defeating me.
