Translation of a note from the Persian Minister for
Foreign Affairs (English Section) to His Majesty’s
Minister. Dated Azar 11th 1310 (December 3rd, 1931)
No. 31034/2102581.
Monsieur le Ministre,
In continuation of my note No.18526 of Mehr 12th
1309 (October 4th 1930) in connexion with the illegal
action of the Persian Baluchi insurgents in escaping
to the territory of British Baluchistan in order to
continue their mischievous acts, and the failure on
the part of the British frontier officials to prevent
the entry of these rebels into British Baluchistan,
I have the honour to inform Your Excellency that a further
communication has been received from the Ministry of War
stating that Haji Nawab An honorific title; an official acting as a provincial deputy ruler in South Asia; or a significant Muslim landowner in nineteenth century India. Khan, the Ba-uchi, who had fled
last year into British Baluchistan territory, has again
returned to Rask and Pishin situated in Persian territory
and has taken away with him all the property belonging
to Zar Gol, the wife of Ali Mohammed Khan, the father
of Doust Mohammed Khan (sic). He was accompanied by
a number of armed men.
The Persian frontier officials are, therefore,
complaining bitterly against the fact that the frontier
officials of British Baluchistan are allowing the
insurgents escaping from Persian territory to enter
British Baluchistan frontier without any hindrance or
examination (sic) and thus enable them to escape
further pursuit by Persian officials and that, furthermore,
after some time they allow them to come back to Persian
territory

About this item

Content

Correspondence and other papers relating to controls on cross-border movements and extradition measures on the frontier between Persia [Iran] and India (specifically British Baluchistan, part of present-day Pakistan), discussed between the British Government, Government of India, and Persian Government. The papers refer to a number of cross-border incidents, including murders and robbery committed in Persian territory, in which the perpetrators subsequently absconded into British Baluchistan. The papers include British protests to the Persian Government, in response to incursions by Persian levies into British territories, and correspondence exchanged between British officials, indicating a reluctance to sign an extradition treaty with Persia.

The file’s principal correspondents include: the British Legation at Tehran (Robert Henry Clive; Reginald Hervey Hoare; Charles Dodd); representatives of the Persian Government, including the Minister for Foreign Affairs (Mirza Mohamed Ali Khan Feroughi); the British Consul at Sistan and Kain [Ka’īn] (Major Clive Kirkpatrick Daly); the Governor General and Chief Commissioner in Baluchistan (Alexander Norman Ley Cater); the Foreign Secretary to the Government of India (Evelyn Berkeley Howell).
