Tim in a media statement released on Friday the former PM Douglas claims that a FB profile of Mable Richards has issued death threats on his life; that persons referred me to the following veiled threat issued to me Denzil Douglas and others in the following words: “I want to tell Denzil Douglas and the misguided few that this is not 93. Team Unity and Mable is prepared to die for this government.
AU Browne and dem need to understand not every time people will miss the target….Its a while we haven’t had a state funeral, so let him mobilize because Mable Richards will neutralize.” Clearly, this is a threat on my life which we must take very seriously. I’m therefore making the transcript taken from the Facebook Page of “Mable Richards”, available to the police for investigations.
It is very clear, as we have been saying Dr Harris does not intend to tolerate criticisms and challenge to him and his style of governance.
On the eve of our 33rd Anniversary of Independence, I remind us that the Federation of St Kitts and Nevis is a democracy which upholds freedom of speech, freedom of association and freedom to earn a living with a decent wage without fear of threats of violence against those who espouse these rights and freedoms.
I call on our people to be vigilant and fearless in standing up for Justice and Fairness in our country Meanwhile in an official statement issued on Saturday September 3rd it was indicated that legal counsel of Prime Minister,Dr Timothy Harris, Thomas W.R. Astaphan QC has commenced Legal action against both Freedom FM 106.5 and Dr. Douglas.
Freedom Fm contacted the Royal St. Kitts- Nevis police force who said that the former Prime Minister Douglas had filed a complaint to the police over the weekend alleging death threats on his life. Freedom Fm will have more on this story.
