FBI Declines Request to Investigate Activists

December 12, 2001

The FBI has declined a request by a University of California at San Francisco researcher to pursue federal criminal charges against two AIDS protesters accused of making harassing and obscene telephone calls to newspaper reporters and public health officials. The request was made under the new domestic terrorism law signed by President Bush after the Sept. 11 attacks. Michael Petrelis and David Pasquarelli are being held in the San Francisco County Jail, in lieu of $500,000 bail each, on state charges of stalking, criminal conspiracy and making terrorist threats.
