Henri Feola, 22, is an activist from Spokane, Washington who grew up in Happy Valley, Oregon and earned a degree in archaeological studies with a focus on decolonization from Oberlin College in 2022. On January 21, 2023, Feola was arrested during a protest march through downtown Atlanta called in response to the police killing of Manuel "Tortuguita" Paez Terán three days earlier. Demonstrators vandalized the Atlanta Police Foundation building, smashed windows at a Wells Fargo branch, and set an APD patrol car on fire. Feola was charged with domestic terrorism, first-degree arson, second-degree criminal damage to property, interference with government property, rioting, unlawful assembly, obstruction of a law enforcement officer, and pedestrian in a roadway. Feola was denied bond on January 23, 2023 and held in Fulton County Jail for several weeks before bond was eventually granted. In September 2023 Feola was included in a 61-person RICO indictment; the RICO charge was dismissed December 30, 2025. Domestic terrorism and arson charges remained pending as of July 2026.
