4 More Activists Charged in Intimidation Campaign Against University of Michigan over Israel Ties
Federal prosecutors say the campaign used threats and vandalism to pressure the university to divest from Israel-linked companies.
- On Friday, federal prosecutors in Detroit unsealed a new indictment charging four additional individuals in an alleged conspiracy targeting University of Michigan leadership to force divestment from Israel.
- This development brings the total number of charged defendants to 12, following an initial indictment five months ago that targeted eight activists for threats and property vandalism.
- The new defendants include Henry David MacKeen-Shapiro, Aaron Hunter Vonbargen, Joseph Mark Fisher, and Srishti Tarana Sharma, accused of orchestrating terror campaigns against school officials and businesses.
- U.S. Attorney Jerome Gorgon announced that two suspects were arrested and will make their first court appearances today, while authorities continue searching for the remaining two individuals.
- Investigators previously linked the group to incidents including fake corpses placed in a board member's yard and spray-painting at the residence of former school president Santa Ono.
