Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling for the federal government to designate pro-Palestine group Samidoun as a terrorist organization and ban it from operating in Canada.
Samidoun, which describes itself as a solidarity network for Palestinian inmates in Israeli prisons, is a “front” for the Popular Front of the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Poilievre said during an Oct. 8 press conference. The PFLP was added to the list of terrorist entities in 2003.
