Vancouver-Based Pro-Palestinian Group Listed as Terrorist Entity Has Been Dissolved
Samidoun was dissolved for non-compliance after being listed as a terrorist entity in 2024, following the arrest of a director linked to praise of the 2023 Hamas attack.
- On Friday, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada dissolved the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, citing "non-compliance" for the action against the pro-Palestinian group designated as terrorist in 2024.
- Operating in British Columbia under three directors, the group included Charlotte Kates, who was arrested in 2024 after praising the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel at a rally. Kates was later released with conditions and faced no charges.
- Reacting on Monday, The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs called the dissolution "an important community win," describing it as reflecting "sustained, determined" advocacy against terrorism operating in Canada.
- "Organizations and individuals tied to terrorism have no place operating under the protection of Canadian law," The Centre stated, urging the government to "continue using all available tools to protect Canadians."
- Samidoun did not immediately respond to requests for comment; The Canadian government maintains the group on its list of terrorist entities despite the corporate dissolution.
