'fie the unaersignea say that we Y/itness in accordance
with our knowledge ana well established facts that Hawar is
subject to Qatar and was never a separate or divided part of
•it. We also witness ana confirm that by no any means did
it become subject to Bahrain. The ruler of Bahrain never
occupied it or exercised any authority in it in the past
which can be taken as a means for their claim ana the taking
of action in these islands as (they did last year. Hawar was
never subject to any except Qatar and that is in accordance
to its natural sitaation. We refute the allegations of the
signatories of the petition that Hawar is subject to Bahrain,
ana we say that it never was. The signatories of the
petition are none other than tnose who frequent Hawar ana
other islands during the fishing season, and they do not innabit
any place other than Bahrain in a recognised manner; tneir
house, boats and permanent places are tnere; we confirm
this, and we write this testimonial as a proof to the truth,
ana with the object of tendering whatever trie evidence we
have.
