- Description:
- Abstract: This file concerns rumours that prisoners handed over by His Majesty's Government following the Akhwan rebellion of 1929/1930 have been executed by the Saudi authorities, in spite of promises reportedly made by King Ibn Saud [‘Abd al-‘Azīz bin ‘Abd al-Raḥmān bin Fayṣal Āl Sa‘ūd] to the British Government that the men's lives would be spared.The rumours, which concern three Saudi state prisoners named Naif ibn Hithlain, Ibn Lami and Ibn Humaid, are reported in extracts from intelligence summaries from the Kuwait Political Agency, dated October and November 1933.A letter dated 25 January 1934, from His Majesty's Minister at Jedda (Sir Andrew Ryan) to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Sir John Simon), relays an assurance from Ibn Saud that the men are still alive, but an extract from a later Kuwait intelligence summary, dated 30 November 1935, appears to confirm the deaths of the three men.The file includes a divider which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 14; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.
