Text: “The British authorities executed Martyrs Ataa Al-Zir, Muhammad Jamjoum, and Fuad Hijazi (i.e., murderers from the 1929 Arab Riots) at the Citadel Prison in Acre, after they actively participated in the Al-Buraq Rebellion (i.e., the 1929 Hebron Massacre and accompanying riots).
The [British] Mandate authorities arrested 900 Palestinians following the Al-Buraq Rebellion and issued a verdict of execution by strangulation for 27 of them. The verdicts were mitigated for 24, and the verdict of execution was carried out on the three Martyrs in 1930.”
