- Take threats seriously: Do not minimize the threat, even if it seems empty or baseless. Death threats must always be taken seriously.
- Keep all evidence: If the threats were made by message, phone, social media, or any other means, make sure to keep everything as evidence. Take screenshots, save messages, or record calls if possible and legal in your country.
- Report to the authorities: Contact the police or local authorities and report the threat. Provide all the evidence you have collected and follow their instructions to protect yourself properly.
- Protect your safety: Consider personal safety measures, such as changing your passwords, blocking numbers or social media accounts, and being cautious when moving in public places. If necessary, seek help to temporarily change your residence or consider personal protection measures.
- Talk to a lawyer: A lawyer can help you understand the legal implications of the threat and guide you on the best legal options to protect yourself.
- Talk to someone you trust: Seek the support of friends, family, or professionals (such as a psychologist) so you can talk about the situation and manage the emotional stress these types of threats can generate.
Remember that your safety is the most important thing, and do not hesitate to take all necessary measures to protect yourself.
