The Canadian government is listing Samidoun, also known as the Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, as a terrorist entity under the Criminal Code.
“Violent extremism, acts of terrorism or terrorist financing have no place in Canadian society or abroad,” said Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc in an Oct. 15 release. "The listing of Samidoun as a terrorist entity under the Criminal Code sends a strong message that Canada will not tolerate this type of activity, and will do everything in its power to counter the ongoing threat to Canada’s national security and all people in Canada.”
