2. Some mail was contained in small size paper envelopes,
such as those used by stores.
3. Mail was delivered closed inside ruled paper shaped like
envelopes using the compressor and carrying various
degrees of security marks.
4. Mail was delivered wrapped in transparent paper that you
could see through and read the content.
5. In light of the above please observe the following:
a. For the split envelopes, you can close and stamp
them after applying a glued tape to them.
b. For the paper bag, you can close them by means of
the tape and by stamping the bag and the tape.
c. For the rules paper, you cannot use it to deliver

Subject: Phenomenon of Running Away
Reference your top secret letter number 7421 of 27 July 1989.
1. The phenomenon of runners away from unit prisoners still
continues notwithstanding the appropriate measures taken in
light of what came in your letter.
2. The issues have been studied by a committee set up by our
directorate. The committee has proposed the following to
solve this problem of running away from prison:
a. Taking a second look at the strength of military control
in corpses and divisions.
b. The soldier convicted by a military court will be
detailed in the formation prison, not in the unit
prison.
c. Designing a model for prison facilities at all levels,
corps, division, formation) and correction camps while
providing proper sanitation conditions and ensuring that
prison buildings are in accordance with the model.
d. The Legal Directorate will be responsible for following
up on matters related to prisons and prisoners at all
levels.
e. The Commander for the Administrative Region in the
formation will be responsible for following up on
prisoners in the division and for organizing prisoners'
departures from the prison and maintaining the prison
keys.
f. The schedule of visits should be organized by the
physicians who will also monitor the prison's sanitation
conditions and cleanliness.
g. No illness case be registered without the approval of
the physician, and the prisoner will only be sent away
under strict security [illegible].
h. A file will be set up for each convicted including a
report about the case, his conduct in prison, and so on.
i. Security representatives in the corps and division
commands will ensure that [illegible] instructions to
the prisoners in coordination with the Legal
Directorate.
j. The prison guards commander and the guard elements
should be among those who are reliable and who are
known for their good character. The security officer
should make a check on their background.
k. The unit commander and the security officer are
responsible for selecting the commissioned person who
will accompany the prisons to the military destination,
and they bear the same responsibility should the
prisoner run away.
(Page 154, continued)
3. In light of the above, we propose that you approve the
committee's proposals listed above and we urge all army units
to implement them.

Reference the letter of the 18th Infantry Division Command
number 298 of 20 April 1990, which was communicated to us, it has
been decided not to send injuries investigation boards to our
division's Medical Command directly but through our district. The
purpose is to control the investigative boards from the legal
standpoint before their decisions are endorsed medically so that
they do not have to correct some paragraphs or add new ones, for
this will result in crossing out or erasing which is not
acceptable legally.
Please take whatever action is necessary and comply therewith
from date of receipt of this letter.

The President and Commander General of the Armed Forces (may
God preserve his life), while decorating a number of commanders
and leaders for courage on 8 April 1990, issued the following
orders with respect to the military wear:
Do you know that the Army is like nations and peoples. To
the extent that our traditions are deep rooted and established,
this will form one of the main pillars of the army and the armed
forces. Among those traditions are what you wear and how to
conduct yourself. I have noticed that a number of officers,
whether here or in other places, take liberty with military
insignia by adding certain lines or certain colors to them. Some
of them go as far as [illegible]. This can happen in some
primitive armies, but in an army like yours and in the armed
forces and in this country which prides itself on its great
traditions, it is assumed that such things will not happen.
Therefore, I would like you to relay this remark to your brethren
in the units and formations and tell them that appearance
sometimes becomes a vital part of the essence. As for the
soldier, a lot that is related to appearance is an integral part
of the essential structure and military character.
Please read and take the necessary measures in this regard,
act accordingly and ensure a follow-up action by the leaders and
commanders personally.
