A woman who was an hourly employee of the campaign for Michigan Democratic Senate candidate, Abdul El-Sayed, was among a dozen pro-Palestinian activists who the U.S. Attorney’s Office has indicted for allegedly threatening University of Michigan officials in an effort to force the school to cut ties with Israel. Mariam Odeh, 24, was charged in June for her alleged role in the scheme, the Detroit News reported in June. Records The Detroit News obtained showed that she was paid twice by El-Sayed’s campaign.
Odeh was among eight activists charged in the alleged conspiracy at the time, and federal prosecutors indicted four more on Friday, the New York Post reported.
The conspirators allegedly planned to carry out a campaign of harassment and intimidation of school officials in order to force the school to cut ties with Israel, according to federal prosecutors.
The activists allegedly vandalized board members’ homes, planted fake corpses on lawns and sprayed anti-Israel slogans in front of the then-school president’s home, the feds say.
