- Title:
- PZ 53/31 'Disposal of Rebel Leaders - Ibn Mashur.'
- Scope & Content:
-
The file comprises telegrams, despatches, correspondence, memoranda, and notes, relating to the case of Farhan ibn Mashur, who had committed various acts of rebellion against Ibn Saud.
At the conference on HMS Lupin in February 1930 (the Lupin Conference) the King of Iraq (Faisal I) had given an assurance to the King of Hejaz and Najd (ibn Saud) that Farhan bin Mashur would return to ibn Saud via Syria subject to a pardon. However, ibn Mashur was allegedly abducted on the way through Syria and this was seen as a broach of Faisal's guarantee to Ibn Saud.
The King of Iraq offered to hand over Ibn Mashur's family and property to the King of Hejaz and Najd as a gesture of good faith, a measure which was accepted by Ibn Saud.
The discussion in the volume between British officials concerns the practicalities of the case and the need to maintain cordial relations between the two monarchs. It also discusses the agreements at the Lupin conference and implications for British action in this matter.
The file features the following principal correspondents: the Political Secretary to the High Commissioner for Iraq (R S M Sturges); the Private Secretary to the King of Iraq, Baghdad (Abdullah Beg al Haj); the King of Iraq, (Faisal bin Hussein); the High Commissioner for Iraq (F H Humphrys); the Secretary of State for the Colonies (Sidney James Webb, Lord Passfield); the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonial Office; the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs; the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs; the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Government of Hejaz and Najd; HBM Minister, Jedda (Sir Andrew Ryan); and the King of Hejaz and Najd (ibn Saud).
