Female Supporter of Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed Attacks Pro-Israel Activist
A supporter of Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed was arrested after physically attacking a Jewish student named Lizzy Benichou during an open Dialogue event on the University of Michigan campus. Activist Lizzy Benichou asked a question about women's rights and appearance in Iran directed at a woman. The woman, identified by media and authorities as Temulun Togochog, lunged at and tackled Benichou to the ground, causing a lower back injury. The incident occurred after the attacker failed to respond to Benichou's arguments. University of Michigan campus police intervened immediately and arrested the attacker. While resisting arrest and being loaded into a police vehicle, the individual shouted several violent threats, including, “I should have killed her!!” and “I’ll go again if it means killing her.” According to university police statements, she was released from custody pending warrant authorization. In Michigan, formal criminal charges are officially determined and filed by the county prosecutor's office after reviewing the police investigators' reports and evidence. The incident is being investigated as an assault. Given the recorded vocal death threats shouted during the arrest and the targeting of a Jewish activist, legal analysts and community advocates expect investigators to review the evidence for felony assault, ethnic intimidation, or hate crime enhancements. |

Re: Female Supporter of Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed Attacks Pro-Israel Activist
The attacker's dad is the founder & Director of the Southern Mongolian Human Rights Information Center, a NY based organization focused on documenting & advocating against the repression of ethnic Mongolians in Inner Mongolia. Her parents fled Chinese Communist Party persecution so any children they had could grow up free in America. Both were living in the U.S. as political asylees for years before she was born. In December 2024, at age 17, she testified before Congress about her privilege of living here and spoke out for Southern Mongolians whose language, culture, and rights are being erased under the CCP. |
