Op­po­si­tion Sen­a­tor Dr Amery Browne has lodged a po­lice re­port af­ter re­ceiv­ing on­line death threats.

In a Face­book post on Thurs­day, Browne wrote: “I have made a full re­port to the Po­lice Ser­vice based on on­line death threats made against me and mem­bers of my fam­i­ly in the form of spe­cif­ic com­ments on my Face­book wall. I have been in­volved in the ac­tive pol­i­tics of Trinidad and To­ba­go since 2007 and have nev­er ex­pe­ri­enced any­thing like this. I am treat­ing the is­sue very se­ri­ous­ly.”

In a fol­low-up What­sApp mes­sage, Browne said he ex­pects “ro­bust and swift ac­tion” in re­sponse to the threats.
