one worn an t and they were all subsequently handed over
to the local Gendarmerie who held a preliminary enquiry
before referring the matter to Tehran for further orders.
Instructions werieventually received from the Capital that
the accused should be handed over to the Police and that
they would be tried by a military court in Bandar Abbas.
The Military court have recently started spasmodic hear
ings of the case but the accused are still in the custody
of the Gendarmerie as the Police state they cannot accomo
date the prisoners, their cells already being full. The
0.0. Gendarmerie is in a quandary as he has no suitable
accomodation for the prisoners, neither has he any budget
allotment for their food &o.--and that this is very prob
ably true is reflected in the fact that out of the origin
al fcfc captives three men and the woman have died in cus
tody. H.M's Consul has discussed this case with the Gov
ernor and other loc?il authorities concerned, and has press
ed for early action in this matter. Numerous promises
have been given that the case will be completed with all
oossible despatch but at present there ks are no signs
that the trial will be brought to a spfedy conclusion.
There seems little doubt that fcfc at least 13 of the accus
ed will be found guilty as the prosecuting evidence, ac
cording to the original Persian investigating officer, is
quite conclusive.
There have been no incidents in which lorries
or caravans have betan held up on the Kerman-Bandar Abbas
road during the period under review. It is understood
that goods to the value of rials 400 f 000 were looted by
robbers in the raid on a aaravan near Tang-i-Dalan during
the first half of the month (see paragraph 6 of ^iary for
1st - 15th June) and negotiations are now in progress for
the return of the plunder.
