Governments concerned. In giving my views/the re fore I am
looking at the question merely from the local point of view

4. As regards the first proposal, while the advantages which
might be expected to result from it are not apparent, the
disadvantages are obvious. Persian subjects who commit
offences on this side of the border and are then apprehended
are punished by us for their misdeeds. Having undergone
thier imprisonment their crime, as far as we are concerned,
is expiated and it would therefore appear to be against
every principle of equity that they should be handed over
on release to the Persian authorities against whom, in so
far as the incident for which they have been dealt with is
concerned, they have committed no offence. It is possible
that the Persians might be prepared, as suggested by the
Consul Seistan, to guarantee that no further punishment would
be inflicted on the culprits for their misdemeanours in
British territory, but it would be impossible to ensure
that this guarantee was kept. Further it would be a simple
matter for the Persians, once these persons were in their
hands, to punish them for crimes alleged to have been
committed previously in Persia. As regards the reciprocal
arrangements, there would seem to be no point in having
British subjects who had committed offences in Persia
returned to us, as it would presumably be necessary for us
to release them forthwith. The proposal would, therefore,
appear to offer no advantages to us and as it would

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).
