斯坦福大学五名因2024年6月校园亲巴勒斯坦抗议活动而被控重罪的学生,其全部刑事指控已被撤销1。加州检察长办公室与这些学生达成协议,要求他们完成100小时社区服务并支付约5万美元的赔偿金1,这笔金额远低于原案中各被告可能面临的约32.9万美元赔偿责任1。
这五名学生曾因占据斯坦福大学校长办公室一小时而遭起诉,当时他们要求学校考虑实施关于巴勒斯坦投资的撤资决议1。原圣克拉拉县地方检察官杰夫·罗森在2025年4月宣布对该学生组织提出刑事指控,但因被指利用待审案件为其连任筹款而存在利益冲突,于2025年5月被法院撤销案件管辖权1。随后由加州检察长办公室接管案件并达成和解1。学生艾米·翟(Amy Zhai)表示:"[检控]目的是压制关于巴勒斯坦的言论,但他们失败了"1。
All criminal charges against five Stanford University students have been dismissed following a settlement with California's attorney general's office 1. The students faced felony charges related to a pro-Palestine demonstration on campus in June 2024, during which they occupied the university president's office for an hour to demand the institution consider a divestment resolution regarding Palestinian investments 1.
Under the agreement reached by the state prosecutor, the students are required to complete 100 hours of community service and pay approximately $50,000 in restitution 1. This settlement represents a significant reduction from the initial prosecution threats, which had sought $1 million in damages, with trial proceedings suggesting individual defendants could face liability of up to $329,000 1.
The case was transferred from Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen to the state attorney general's office after a court stripped Rosen of jurisdiction over the matter 1. Rosen had filed the criminal charges in April 2025 but was removed from the case in May 2025 due to a conflict of interest, as he had allegedly used pending cases against student activists to raise campaign funds for his re-election 1. One of the five students, Amy Zhai, stated that the prosecution was intended to "suppress speech about Palestine" but "they failed" 1.
