NextImg:Vancouver pro-Palestinian leader praises October 7 on Iranian television

Charlotte Kates, the international coordinator for Samidoun, appeared on Iranian television to discuss her arrest at the hands of Vancouver police, and reiterated her statements about the “brave, heroic” October 7 terror attack on Israel.

Kates, who’s also the coordinator of the Vancouver-headquartered Samidoun Palestinian Prisoners Solidarity Network, was arrested in May 2024 in a Vancouver police investigation into words she uttered at a rally that were alleged to constitute hate speech.

She has yet to be charged.

Jewish groups in Canada have been lobbying for several years to have Samidoun labelled a terrorist group because of its affiliations with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which is considered a terror group in Canada. Both Germany and Israel consider Samidoun a terrorist entity.

In her interview with Iran’s Ofogh TV, Kates said there are anti-Israel rallies all around “the imperial core” — referring to the developed world — protesting the countries that are “arming and funding the genocide that Israel is bringing” against Palestinians.
