The group is called ‘Samidoun’, known as the Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network.
It is well known in media as the group that lives in Canada, and yet calls for Canada’s “death” during a protest. “Death to Canada! Death to the United States, and Death to Israel!” shouted protestors. This group has now been labeled a terrorist group by both the United States and Canada. Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Public Safety, Democratic Institutions, and Intergovernmental Affairs, said Samidoun is now listed under the Criminal Code, making donations and providing property to the group illegal. This is not the first instance of issues with the group. In previous years, Samidoun’s director Charlotte Kates, was arrested pending hate crime charges in Vancouver. Samidoun has organized numerous demonstrations and rallies across Canadian cities, often drawing attention to the plight of Palestinian prisoners. They have also been involved in various awareness campaigns and fundraising events aimed at supporting their cause. Despite their controversial stance, the group has maintained a presence in the activist community, collaborating with other organizations to amplify their message. Samidoun is not the only terrorist group to be declared. ‘Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine’ is another group that was deemed a terrorist group in Canada.
If the government truly stands by its decision to declare this group a terrorist entity, members and organizers should be deported immediately for the safety of the nation.
No tolerance should be shown for traitorous language calling for the death of Canada.
