The U.S. Justice Department has added four more Palestinian solidarity activists to a federal lawsuit targeting the University of Michigan protesters, bringing the number of defendants known as the Michigan 12 to 12, according to Mondovis.
￭ The four new defendants face conspiracy charges with possible sentences ranging from five years to several decades. The charges include conspiracy to transmit threats and conspiracy to intimidate a witness.
￭ The latest indictments followed FBI raids on October 29, including an armed raid on the home of activist Darin Shapiros. Agents seized electronic devices and reportedly turned off their body cameras during the search.
