Sir,
k
In continuation of my letter No. 2/29/1111 dated the 20th
September 1929 I have the honour to report that the Persian police
deny having confiscated Haji Hamid'e passport,
2, I saw Haji Hamid in Basra on 25th September 1929. He stated
that the Persian Consul asked him to visit him* On complying the
Consul stated that there would be no difficulty in granting HaJi Kamid
permission to re-enter Persia if he wrote a letter tl'u fellowiutjh
Uiiiuia acknowledging
(a) That as Bahrein belonged to Persia he, as a Bahreini, was
a Persian subject,
(b) That he would willingly register himself as a Persian
subject on his return to Mohammerah.
This move on the pert of the Persian Consul appears to be
prompted by the protest made by the Administrative Inspector on the
subject of the deportation of Haji Hamid ^to 'Iraq without notificaticr
j
3, Haji Hamid assures me that he does not intend to comply
with the request of the Persian Consul,
I have the honour to be.
Sir,
