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.

DADayna Albert signed 2024-04-11 14:32:15 -0400Organizations such as Samidoun, which incite and promote hate against any identifiable group of Canadians should not be granted charitable status and should be labelled as what it is, a terrorist-supporting organization.

TSTerry Shane signed 2024-04-11 13:01:04 -0400I fully support free speech and open communication, but allowing charitable status for funding groups that promote hatred and intolerance should not be permitted.
Samidoun and their activities, support terror groups, promote hatred and intolerance, and intimidate students and citizens of Canada, simply because of their religion.
