(Kaieteur News) Attorneys representing Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed and his father Nazar Mohamed have called on the President of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ), Justice Winston Anderson, to recuse himself from all proceedings concerning their clients, citing former internal judicial leaks and grave allegations of political maneuvering in Guyana.

In a 14-page letter dispatched to the CCJ Registrar in Port of Spain on 14th August, 2026, defense counsel: Roysdale Forde SC, Siand Dhurjon, and Damien DaSilva pressed for full disclosure of court records, asserting that their clients’ constitutional right to a fair hearing has been severely endangered.

The legal team pointed to international reporting on leaked communications among sitting CCJ judges, highlighting remarks by Justice Jamadar, who spoke of a “toxic” work environment and an “attempt to influence the opinions of colleagues that differed from yours in an authoritative manner” during panel deliberations on the Mohameds’ appeal. The attorneys also referenced internal statements by Justice Eboe-Osuji, who alleged that Justice Anderson tried to “single-handedly override judicial independence” when attempting to announce a court decision contrary to the explicit wishes of a clear majority of the panel.
