Situation on Baluchistan frontier. 2**7
I have the honour to refer to the correspondence ending with
your letter No. D.4771-N/30, dated the 31st October 1930.
2. The proposals on which an expression of my views has been
called for are as follows:-
(l) Persian Baluchis who have crossed into British territory
and there committed offences for which they have been
punished by imprisonment should on the expiry of their
sentence be handed over to the Persian authorities, who
will ensure that they will not repeat such offences. In
return the Persian authorities will hand over to us
British subjects who had been imprisoned in Persia for
offences committed there.
(2) Military deserters who take refuge in British or Persian
territory should be surrendered to the authorities of
the country from which they have fled. In particular
the arms of certain Persian deserters who recently took
refuge in Mekran should be returned to the Persians.
(3) Steps should be taken by the British authorities to
prevent the escape into British territory of Persian-
insurgents living on the borders of Baluchistan, when
they are pursued by Persian troops.
3. In your letter No. D.3406-N/30, dated the 27th August 1930

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).
