Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has dismissed charges against seven people who were charged in connection with pro-Palestinian protests at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor last year. Nessel initially charged seven people in September 2024 with resisting and obstructing a police officer related to the dismantling of an encampment on the university's Diag in May 2024.

Civil rights groups are calling on Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel to drop all remaining charges against pro-Palestinian protesters following her unexpected decision Monday to dismiss felony and misdemeanor counts against seven demonstrators arrested during a May 2024 encampment sweep at the University of Michigan.
