IFMG Ouro Preto denounces threats and hate speech in a group of students on WhatsApp

The incident report registered by the institute's management states that participants in the group "were using expressions of hatred, incitement to violence, insults and threats directed at students and teachers with divergent political positions."

According to police records, a survey was created in the group with the following question: "What to do with a PT member?". And the answer options were: "burn alive", "cut neck" and "cut off a finger".

Prints of messages that g1 had access to also show a sticker with the image of a gun and ammunition with the phrase "cure for LGBT", in addition to a member of the group saying that "this can only be resolved with shooting", when referring to the video of a person with divergent positions.

In a note published on social media, the IFMG stated that, in addition to reporting the case to the police, it contacted public security bodies at the state and federal levels to "know the facts, adopt the relevant measures and determine any possible responsibilities".

The institute also declared that the students already identified will be called upon to provide the necessary clarifications and "will respond to the appropriate procedures".
