TRIBAL AV&RT3 J
7. The Roghzadi uaf prisoners (vide para. 1^ of January
Diary; have been released and arrived in x hanaqin on icb. 10th.
iiS a crowning piece of injustice they were lined I.D. lb/—
apiece for having crossed the frontier without the necessary
papers. This sentence has however now been withdrawn, it is
not yet known what steps, if any, are being taken to compensate
them for their looted property.
8. nasrullah khan-i-Rustam Khan v Baneh Roghzadi) who has been
in Iraq since the surrender of fama Rashid Khan, has been in
vited by the Persians to return to Baneh. oo far he is undecided
about accepting the invitation.
.y. The situation in the KALHUR trioe v.see oanuary Diary,
para. 14; remains uneasy. ^ASIA AHAa A 1 AiuAi- 1, the young Ba.ihsh-
aar oi Gilan and headman of the tribe, who was in Kermanshah
recently in collection with the hold-up by . alhur tribesmen of
two Aermsnahah Petroleum Company tankers in november last
^December Diary para. IB and January Diary para, has been
complaining of continual intriguing against fcimseli by the ^viBAD-
iAn faction, heaaed by ABp^S K :T Ai. BAD I An, th*e i ajlis Deputy,
and has threatened to resign ..rom his post as Bakhshaar ^unpaidj
and remove to the safety oi Aeraanshah. The precaripusness of
his position is further indicated by reports of discora within
the a' azami lar.'iily itself, particularly oi the long-standing
rivalry between ,asim Khan and his half-brother uhulam Reza,
exploited alike by the qubadian faction ana by members oi the
tribe. The x^ersian authorities now have to consider whether
to replace ,asim Khan (bearing in mind the difficulty of find
ing a suitable man to take his place; or to remove Ghulam Reza
Khan and settle him elsewhere. The latter solution would
appear to be the best, as asirn Ahan could probaoly counter
the intrigues of Abbas yibadian ff his own halx—orother v<as at
a safe distance.
10. Considerable unrest also exists in the TARlfni area,
owing to the rivalry between Anl RUH.u.., AD GHAaARfARI IR
A* \ZAii) 9 former Bakhshdar of DKid^Ai^ and son of the late Vali
of iiisht-i-Kuh, aiid his cousin AIIARD .AAH KH/ui GH,i£nDFARI, who
was recently rejected by the Tarhanis as their Bakhshdar. The
5th uristan Division sent a detachment to Tarhan on x'eceipt
of the news that the supporters of Ali Muhammad were arming
themselves, presumably to carry out a coup which would reinstate
him as Bakhshdar. In the meantime HiioSAK ciAHnDI, the present
uakhshuar, has been removed to Delian on orders irom Tehran
and the noting oakhshdar of Delian, HAoi K AR ISRATDvRI, has
been oraered to Tarhan. In view of the circumstances it »<ould
appear to be the wisest course xor the Government to remove
both Amanullah Khan and i.li Muhammad Khari as their conflicting
ambitions have an unsettling effect on the tribes. The < rime
minister is reported to have said that neither of them was to
be fciven an official position in ish-i-ruh.
11. R..SHID AGH/w (October Diary, para. B3) and his three
sons have recently been found not guilty by a military tribunal
convened to consider their appeal against the original sentence
of two years* imprisonment. Ihe x resident of the Court, is re
