The editors of the daily newspaper and portal Danas received a series of insults and death threats via social networks and e-mails because of a quote by Mahatma Gandhi that was published in the printed edition and on the social network Instagram, which reads: “Truth, not God.” An action was even launched, inviting citizens to fill the inbox of the newsroom with the message “God is the truth”.

The threats were reported to the competent prosecutor’s office and the police. Some of the threats and insults received by Danas are: “We will slaughter you all”, “One by one we will slaughter whoever works for this sect”, “You are also on the list!” You will be judged! GOD IS TRUTH!”, “You are the worst sect, I wish you all to die from cancer because you made me swear on Good Friday, I f*ck your mother, you provocateurs!”.
