, Bahrain.
V/ith reference to your d.o. C/325-8/26-A
dated 13th ^pril 1941, I wrote to you on this subject
in my No. 550-9 dated 10th April 1941. Alooka was
not released on the date on which he should have been
released owing uo an error.
I saw him myself in jail a few days before the
date on which his sentence should have expired. Fe
asked for remission and I told him that it would not
be granted. Ihe remission would have c?mounted to about
72 days. On the following morning T informed the clerk
that Alooka was not to be given the remission which he
he had earned. He was kept in custody, wrongly, for
an additional 19 days.
He has nov; been arrested again. It appears that
he stole a coat from one of the people attending the
Friday mosque while the owner was washing at the mosque
well.
Alooka is a habitual thief and a troublesome
prisoner, he is a foreign subject, a Persian , and I
think he would be a suitable case for repatriation
provided that he was warned that he would be severely
dealt with if hereturned to Bahrain. I have sent in
a list of his previous convictions v/ith my No. 550-9 dat

About this item
- Content
This file contains correspondence regarding the development of the armed police force in Bahrain between the years 1930 and 1944.
The documents discuss the British authorities' desire to reduce the number of Indians employed in the police force and make it appear less noticeably 'foreign'. Various other reforms and training initiatives during this period are also discussed.
A full, detailed report from 1940 entitled 'A Report on the Bahrain Police with Suggestions for their improvement' is contained on ff. 70-167a.
The file also contains detailed instructions regarding protocol for the use of force by the police against crowds (notably the use of firearms against illegal assemblies) and documents containing a broader discussion of the nature of Britain's role in Bahrain.
