BC MLA launches private prosecution of Samidoun organizer, alleging terrorism
A British Columbia MLA has taken the unusual step of launching a private legal action against a Vancouver woman who was investigated for hate speech.
Police arrested Charlotte Kates and recommended she be charged with willful promotion of hatred and public incitement of hatred for an April 29, 2024, speech at the Vancouver Art Gallery in which she praised the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel as “heroic and brave” and led a crowd in a chant of “Long live Oct. 7.”
Kates is the international director of the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, which was listed as a terrorist entity last October.
On Wednesday, OneBC party Leader Dallas Brodie announced she would file a private prosecution against Kates.
