Biography

Abeeku Osei Vassall was arrested in Cartersville, Georgia, on April 28, 2023 with Julia Dupuis and Caroline “Charley” Tennenbaum after activists placed flyers on neighborhood mailboxes identifying a Georgia State Patrol trooper involved in the killing of Stop Cop City activist Manuel “Tortuguita” Paez Terán. Authorities charged all three with misdemeanor stalking and felony intimidation of a state officer. Vassall spent the first four nights in solitary confinement at Bartow County Jail. A judge set a $20,000 bond at a May 15 hearing, and supporters covered it. Georgia later included Vassall in its 61-person Stop Cop City racketeering indictment; a Fulton County judge dismissed that RICO charge on December 30, 2025. The cited ruling did not dispose of the separately filed Bartow County flyer charges.
