A Swiss national, David Henschel, faces sentencing after pleading guilty to punching a protester outside a defense conference in May 2024 — but he showed up virtually from Switzerland, sparking outrage from prosecutors who called him “not above the law.” The 58-year-old, working for a Swiss munitions firm, allegedly assaulted a 21-year-old woman who accused him of supporting genocide, then pushed another protester. The victim’s family waited two years for justice, while Henschel’s lawyer cited PTSD and low blood sugar as mitigating factors. The judge rescheduled sentencing for July 22nd, warning a bench warrant will follow if Henschel skips court again. Prosecutors demand jail time; defense seeks absolute discharge. The incident has ignited broader concerns about rising anti-Palestinian and anti-Muslim violence.
