Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network

Samidoun is an international network of organizers and activists that claims to be campaigning for the release of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. The organization, which emerged in 2011, maintains at least 20 chapters across 12 countries, including Canada, the United States and France, amongst others. Samidoun also operates a chapter in Iran, which Canada has designated as a State Supporter of Terrorism. Many Palestinian prisoners for which Samidoun advocates for release have ties to terrorism, assassinations and countless attacks against Israel. Samidoun's ideology revolves exclusively around the worldview that Israel and Zionism are the greatest danger to the Middle East and the world. Their main goals are the destruction of Israel and establishing a Palestinian state in its place. To achieve this goal, Samidoun advocates all kinds of activities, including violence. The organization helps advance the interests of other listed terrorist entities such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) on social media and in public protests. According to open sources, Samidoun has close links with the PFLP, which is a listed terrorist entity in Canada, the United States and the European Union. The leadership of Samidoun is composed of reported current and former members of the PFLP.
