APPENDIX D
A translation from Arabic of a court case which was published in a
communique by the General Commander of the Arab Revolt in
Palestine - "Abd al-Rahim Haj Mohammad, of a trial of a Jewish
engineer who was captured by one of the rebel fasa’il:*
“The Mujahedin of al-Zilzal fasil have captured on Haifa-Jaffa
road, the Jewish engineer Jisho Daphne, and a trial set up by the
fasil court on the 18/8/1938, he was sentenced to death by shooting.
He was given the right to appeal. His appeal was brought to the
Revolt’s Supreme Court, which is embodied by the General
Commander and its War Chiefs of Staff. After listening to his
testimony and the testimony of a lot of witnesses, the court decided
the following:
3 As many trusted Arab witnesses were in his favour.
2) Ashe did not admit in believing in the Zionist idea
which we hate and fight against.
(3) As his killing will be disastrous and painful to his
children . .
(4) And as the Court will take its guidance from the famous
Arab saying “give forgiveness when you are able (when you
are strong)
(5) And as the Court considers him as a prisoner who should
not be harmed.
"For all these facts and indications the Court has passed this
verdict:
(1) Free the prisoner and refuse to take the ransom he
offered to pay which was £P 1000, to prove that the
revolt is for higher goals and above materialism.
(2) Give the prisoner five pounds from the revolt money, and
ive him western clothes, and send him safely to his
ome.
(3) To ask the Committee for publication to publish this
judgement and its details for the public to know that the
Arabs are noble people in all of their actions."
