Eight pro-Palestinian activists indicted over alleged intimidation campaign at University of Michigan

Thursday, 11 June 2026, 06:30 · 1 min read

Federal prosecutors in Detroit have unsealed an indictment against eight pro-Palestinian activists accused of running a criminal intimidation campaign against officials at the University of Michigan in an effort to force the school to divest from companies with ties to Israel. Alleged tactics included placing fake bloody corpses on a board member's lawn, vandalising the university president's home with anti-Israel messages, and using Hamas-associated symbols such as red inverted triangles online to threaten targets. The case represents one of the most aggressive federal prosecutorial actions taken against pro-Palestinian activists since the campus protest movement of 2023–2024, the vast majority of whose participants faced only local charges that were later dropped.
