US EditionB.C. MLA launches private prosecution against Charlotte Kates of Samidoun
Dallas Brodie, leader of the OneBC party, has submitted allegations of terrorism offences to court after Charlotte Kates praised Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel.
- British Columbia MLA and OneBC party leader Dallas Brodie launched a private prosecution against Vancouver woman Charlotte Kates for praising Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel.
- The prosecution is based on Charlotte Kates' address at a rally held at the Vancouver Art Gallery on April 29, 2024, during which she commended the October 7 Hamas attack as heroic and led participants in chanting "long live October 7."
- Kates, listed as the international coordinator for Samidoun, was arrested in 2024 and released with conditions, while Samidoun was designated a terrorist entity by Canada in 2024.
- Brodie submitted sworn information accusing Kates of glorifying terrorist entities and expects a hearing date within 60 days, although some say terrorism charges fall under federal jurisdiction.
- This prosecution highlights delays in hate charge decisions against Kates and may pressure government inaction, but Brodie acknowledged it has low chances of legal success.
