Condition of the Country.
Bandar Abbas.— Several small thefts were reported to have occurred in the
town one of which was committed in the Consulate when the thief was arrested
and sent to the Nazmieh where he was detained for a fortnight and then dis
charged as the courts in Bandar Abbas were not opened then.
Biyaban—Jalal Taherzani, who, after removal of Mir Barakat Khan from
Bashakird in 1932, was appointed chief of the road guards with 20 men of his
tribe under him, was taken to task by the local authorities at Minab in connection
with revenue collected by him and was sent to Minab in charge of an Amnieh
o’uard. He was, however, released by his men on the road and the whole party
fled to Bashakird to join Abdul Hussein Kameran, the notorious outlaw. On
receipt of this information, the Officer Commanding Troops, Bandar Abbas, paid
a hurried visit to Minab with a view to obtaining an interview with Abdul Hus
sein Kameran of Bashakird and proposing peace terms which the latter is re
ported to have refused.
It is rumoured that the wife of Abdul Hussein Kameran has been arrested
by the troops and it is hoped that with her capture they will be able to bring her
husband to terms.
The sister of M ir Barakat Khan, who went to Tehran in October 1933 with
the hope of seeing her brother and begging for his release, returned on the 15th
December as she found her brother and his elder son, Abdullah Khan, had both
died. This news aggravated the tribesmen and there was wholesale robbery in
Minab. A detachment of 150 soldiers were sent to Minab immediately. On the
15th February 1934 Mir Barakat Khan’s sister was brought to Bandar Abbas to
be sent to Tehran.
A band of Taherzaies, having had a skirmish with the troops raided the
Customs House at Galak and killed the Mudir.
