A Government-Orchestrated Witch Hunt

Protesters blocked the building of the Faculty of Philosophy, demanding the dismissal of professor and journalist Dink Gruhonjic, Novi Sad, March 28 2024 (BETAPHOTO/DRAGAN GOJIC)

A several-week-long campaign against university professor and journalist Dinko Gruhonjic, after a doctored video of his speech at a festival in Dubrovnik, Croatia, was released, escalated last week when the Novi Sad School of Philosophy, where he teaches as an associate professor, was blocked. The Serbian Progressive Party is without a doubt the organizer of the blockade, where demands that Gruhonjic be fired were voiced. The party has several reasons for targeting Gruhonjic.
