Affairs
The M.F.A. present their compliments to H.A. Legation
and have the honour to inform the th:t, according to reports
received from the Imperial Government Cor.imissioner at .irak,
a number of the persons detained, whose innocence and lack, of
guilt was proved after enquiry, kave been relea ec. on the
condition that they reside in the toVns fixed for their
residence. In accordance v/ith para 5 of the letter do. 1251
da;ed 19 Aug 42 of that Legation, and also section 5 of the
Agreement about the detention, examination and custody of the
Iranian suspects in Arak: dated 17 Sept 42 in which it is
explicit^ stated "the suspects who after enquiry are found
to oe innocent will be released immediately”, there does not
appear to be any sort of condition or reservati a in reppect
of persons who are acquitted. In addition for an individual
to stay in a certain place compulsorily is in itself a sort
o * punishment which is quite incompatible with the notification
of his innocence; so the M. F. requests II. M. Legation to
issue instructions that detained persons who have been acquitted
may be free without the above-mentioned conditions or reservations,
especially as a number of them are sick and their presence in
Tehran is necessitated by the need for essential urgent treatment
which is available in Tehran.
