Murder in response to assault, 1910

Letter from Ahmad Mujallal al-Mulk, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ representative in Urumiyah about Benjamin, a Christian employee of the French missionaries who killed Petrus, a Christian Ottoman national, after he assaulted Benjamin’s daughter, Benjamin’s consequent arrest and imprisonment by the Ottoman Shahbandar, and Shahbandar’s dismissing the request for holding a trial. After Benjamin’s temporary release following his illness and his complaint against his prolonged imprisonment in the absence of any trials, the writer repeated his request for a trial, only to be refused again by Shahbandar.
