British Consular reports covering the period 1873-1898 with the title "Followers of John Baptist / Sabaeans" (FO/602/39) contain correspondence that describe in detail through the British political representative in Basra that Sabaeans were subjected to ill-treatment because of their belief and their demands for British protection. This correspondence, also, explains the status of the Sabaean community, the tribes, and the Ottoman presence in Iraq during the Hamidian era (1876-1908) to the reader through the perspective of British officers.
