Harvard Students Ordered to Enter Pretrial Diversion Program Over Assault of Israeli Classmate
29th April 2025
The two Harvard University students who faced criminal charges for assaulting an Israeli classmate during an anti-Israel “die-in” protest will take an in-person anger management class and perform 80 hours of community service as part of a pretrial diversion program, court filings reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show.
The two students, Elom Tettey-Tamaklo and Ibrahim Bharmal, sought the program, and a Suffolk County judge approved it during a Monday hearing. Their attorneys requested only 40 hours of community service, but the judge sided with the prosecutor Ursula Knight’s call for 80 hours. Knight also called for the anger management class as well as a statement from Tettey-Tamaklo and Bharmal admitting fault. The judge did not include the latter request in his order.
