Anand Ramlogan made his comment in relation to reports that police are investigation a series of threats made against High Court Judge Mark Mohammed and several members of judiciary staff during the recent sedition trial of Muslimeen leader Yaseen Abu Bakr.
The threats were in the forms of letters delivered during the trial of Bakr, written on paper with a letterhead reportedly bearing the name of an Islamic group.
Ramlogan said: “Any threats to any member of the judiciary or any employee in the administration of justice is a serious matter,” noting that the country has an independent, strong and impartial system of justice that's the envy of many nations.
“Incidents such as these will be treated with a sense of urgency and dealt with swiftly," he said. "A thorough investigation will be conducted and certainly no stone will be left unturned. We must get to the bottom of any attempt to intimidate, threaten or harass members of the judiciary. It is unacceptable and will not be tolerated."
