Bahá’u’lláh was "escorted" by Persian and Russian “officers”

And when this Wronged One went forth out of His prison, We journeyed, in pursuance of the order of His Majesty the Shah -- may God, exalted be He, protect him -- to Iraq, escorted by officers in the service of the esteemed and honored governments of Persia and Russia. 

- Baha'u'llah (‘Epistle to the Son of the Wolf’)
