"It would seem, alas, that all this bloodshed would have been sufficient
to appease the hatred and the lust of the Muhammadans. Not at all!
Mirza Zaynu'l-'Abidin Khan, finding himself threatened with a desire for
revenge on those he had betrayed and vanquished, gave neither truce nor
rest to the surviving ones of the sect. His hatred knew no bounds and it
was to last as long as he lived. It was actually the very poor that had
been sent to Shiraz, the rich had been kept back. Zaynu'l-'Abidin Khan
had entrusted them to a guard who was ordered to walk them through the city
beating them as they went. The people of Nayriz were greatly entertained
that time. They hung the Babi's by four nails and everyone came to gloat
over their anguish. They placed burning weeds under the nails of these
unfortunate martyrs, they branded them with hot irons, they deprived them
of bread and water, they cut holes through their noses, and running through
them a cord they led them as one would a bear!" (Ibid., p. 408.)
