<div dir="ltr">Hello, all.<br>
<br>
Today, the Government of Canada and the U.S. Treasury
Department designated <b>Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner
Solidarity Network</b> a "sham charity" and <i>terrorist
entity </i>under Canada's Criminal Code. Sanctions
implications are as follows:<br>
<br>
<font face="arial, sans-serif" style=""><i>"All property and
interests in property of the designated persons
described above, and of any entities that are owned
directly or indirectly, 50 percent or more by them,
individually, or with other blocked persons, that are in
the United States or in the possession or control of
U.S. persons, are blocked and must be reported to OFAC
[the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets
Control]. <br>
<br>
...OFAC’s regulations generally prohibit all
transactions by U.S. persons or within (or transiting)
the United States that involve any property or interests
in property of designated or otherwise blocked persons."</i></font><br>
<br>
As many of you know, <b>Samidoun</b> is a leading
organization at the forefront of Palestine solidarity
organizing in North America and Europe, as well as a BAP
Solidarity Network member organization. Since October 2023,
their principled and unyielding support for Palestinian and
regional resistance forces has attracted significant
opposition and repression by those facilitating
the ongoing genocide in Gaza, including being banned by
Germany in November 2023.<br>
<br>
I will soon be meeting with BAP's Executive Committee to
discuss our response to this development, and will relay
updates as they arise.<br>
