By Zoila Palma: Belize Telemedia Limited (BTL) has issued a statement condemning today’s “unlawful trespass by groups of protestors, on BTL’s Saint Thomas Street headquarters compound, in Belize City.”
BTL said that it is aware that the opposition party, trade unions and other associations encouraged their members and supporters to protest in front of BTL’s Saint Thomas Street Headquarters, against the proposed acquisition of Speednet Communications Limited and its subsidiaries, by BTL.
“BTL respects the right to peaceful and lawful protest. Unfortunately, some of those protestors unlawfully trespassed on BTL’s property and resisted the police’s lawful attempts to eject those trespassers, peacefully. The encouragement to protest was also intended to prevent BTL’s Board of Directors from meeting on January 27, 2026, to discuss BTL business and other matters,” the company said.
However, BTL condemned the “unlawful occupation of BTL’s premises by trespassers who have sought to disrupt BTL’s legitimate business operations. These actions constitute a clear violation of BTL’s property rights and created an unsafe environment for BTL’s employees, visitors, customers and the trespassers themselves.”
The company says that despite attempts at intimidation, BTL’s Board of Directors was meeting to discuss human resources related issues including the severance decision of the CCJ of November 5, 2025, which will have a positive impact on our former and present employees. The attempt to disrupt is both regrettable and counterproductive.
BTL noted that Board meetings will continue as scheduled, and the directors will continue to maintain their commitment to proper corporate governance and decision-making processes.
“The Board of Directors recognizes that yielding to intimidation would constitute a breach of their duties to exercise independent judgment and would be contrary to the interests of BTL and BTL’s shareholders,” the company added.
BTL says that it is working closely with relevant authorities to address these incidents and ensure the safety and security of BTL’s operations.
