Add Samidoun to the list of terrorist entities
Samidoun (Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network) is a registered Canadian not-for-profit with clear a direct affiliation and ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) – an organization that has been placed on the list of terrorist entities under Canada’s Criminal Code since 2003.
There is ample open-source information that ties Samidoun to the PFLP. In 2021, Israel designated Samidoun a terror group based on the organization’s direct affiliation with and ties to the PFLP. Most disturbing to Canada’s Jewish community, Samidoun has a significant and active presence in Canada where it holds events, raises funds, runs advocacy campaigns, and organizes activities on university campuses. Regularly, Samidoun officials call for violence at these events.
Recommendation
That the Government of Canada review Samidoun’s activities in Canada to determine if the organization warrants placement on the Criminal Code list as a terrorist entity.

LFLiora Freedman signed 2024-04-11 12:45:44 -0400Samidoun is a great threat to Canadian values and civil society and it incites hatred towards Jewish people in Canada and around the world. This group openly supports terrorism including funding and resources to terrorism and also to hate rallies and incitement to hate here in Canada. There has never been a more important time to list this organization as a terrorist organization.

They must be held accountable and stopped immediately.
