Confinements in the Military Barracks
5. Confinements in the Military Barracks
The Imperial warrant of exile deporting Baha and members of his family to Acre, where they were confined within the town of Acre, which is a fortress, applied to adult members of Baha’s family.
Baha and his family lived in the military barracks for two years (Materials, p.50). After that he was allowed to hire a house and reside in the town of Acre (Materials, p.50).
Restrictions were further relaxed and from 1877 till his death in 1892 Baha took up his residence outside the town of Acre (Materials, P.50). This relaxation of restrictions applied to all members of Baha’s family, including Baha’s followers. Sir Abbas Effendi moved about the country in the Holy Land without let or hindrance.
