BC NDP leader David Eby has released the following statement:

"I completely agree with the decision to designate Samidoun as a terrorist organization. There is no place in British Columbia for groups inciting and glorifying violence. I am glad the federal government has made this designation, which gives more tools to authorities to take action against this group.

"Since the October 7th Hamas attacks in Israel, we have seen a disturbing rise in antisemitic and Islamophobic incidents. People in B.C.’s Jewish and Muslim communities are feeling deeply impacted by events in the Middle East. Let’s work together to make sure British Columbia is a place where everyone feels welcome and safe."
