ANTIGUA PM BROWNE GRAPHICALLY THREATENS TO SUE EVERYBODY INVOLVED IN THE §1782 DISCOVERY PROCEEDING, INCLUDING THE LAWYERS, AS PART OF AN ORGANISED SMEAR AND INTIMIDATION CAMPAIGN UNBEFITTING A HEAD OF STATE

Counsel for the Applicant in the GASTON BROWNE CORRUPTION DISCOVERY CASE has been directly and publicly threatened by the Prime Minister himself, in profane fashion, and he has notified the Court of this out-of-control conduct, in his most recent filing, of which a portion appears below, quoted verbatim:

"Browne has publicly declared that he intends to sue Applicant and others for defamation based on this action, stating “I shall now legally pursue Associated Press, Yulia (Guryeva-Motlokhov), Gisele Isaac [chairman of an opposition party] ... I am looking forward to exploit this defamation with a hefty multi-million dollar compensation package.”1 And Applicant has no reason to doubt that Browne intends to do exactly what he has pledged – sue Applicant for filing this action...

1. More concerning still, Browne has now taken to publicly threatening Applicant’s counsel, for example, Browne – a sitting head of state – recently attacked Applicant’s lead counsel on x.com stating, “PM Browne to Sue D. Gisele Isaac and Others for Defamation” (March 13, 2025),... "you need a bull-bud up your ass for all the defamatory $uckery [sic] that you are spreading.”
2. And since the filing of this action, parties aligned with certain of the Movants have launched an online smear campaign aimed at Applicant’s counsel, focused on this case, with allegations often too vile to be repeated here.
3. In sum, Movants – and Browne in particular – have chosen to litigate in the press through threats and other means. It would be deeply inequitable to continue to stay this matter to Browne’s benefit when discovery here is likely to provide an absolute defense to Browne’s threatened defamation action."[In Re: Gaston Browne Corruption Discovery Application, No. 25-mc-98 (JMF) Applicant’s Combined Response to Letter Motions to Stay].
