56:28Now PlayingOn October 15, 2024, the U.S. Treasury Department and the Canadian government jointly sanctioned the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, branding it a “sham charity” that secretly funds the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a terrorist group linked to violent attacks. Based in Vancouver, Canada, Samidoun has organized pro-Palestinian protests on U.S. college campuses and claims to advocate for Palestinian prisoners, yet Treasury officials assert it “masquerades as [a] charitable actor” while directly supporting terror operations. Charlotte Kates, the organization’s international coordinator, openly praised recent violence, calling Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attacks on Israeli civilians “a brave and heroic operation” and stating that “the so-called Israeli state is a settler colony, and it never had the right to exist.” Samidoun’s close ties to the PFLP, a Marxist-Leninist faction designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) in the U.S. since 1997, have also led to its ban in Germany and Israel. Khaled Barakat, Kates's husband and a senior PFLP leader, was sanctioned as part of the crackdown due to his role in PFLP’s recruitment and fundraising efforts to fuel violence in Gaza and the West Bank. Former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade underscored the impact of these sanctions, stating, “It prevents people from making financial contributions to them,” thereby cutting off a critical funding stream to PFLP affiliates. While Samidoun is not an FTO, it is designated as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT), which means it is recognized as a supporter of terrorism and faces U.S. sanctions that freeze its assets and prohibit U.S. persons from any transactions with it. Unlike an FTO designation, which criminalizes all material support to the group and imposes stricter legal penalties, the SDGT designation targets financial and transactional activities, effectively cutting off Samidoun’s access to U.S.-based funds and international financial networks. This allows the Treasury to restrict Samidoun’s operations without the extensive legal processes required for FTO designation.
