Evidence

Broadley himself quoted one of `Uräbï’s closest associates, Ahmad Rifät Bey, as saying, “The very Englishmen who have defeated us in battle now demand for us an impartial trial. We can entertain no possible illusion on the subject— England and the English people are our real judges.” — Eve M. Troutt Powell, A Different Shade of Colonialism_…, 525
