(Western Standard) Notorious Vancouver-based anti-Israel agitator Charlotte Kates was given a “human rights” award in Iran earlier this month during a trip to Tehran in which she appeared on numerous state broadcasters parroting regime talking points.
Kates, the international coordinator for Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, is currently facing potential charges in connection with a speech she delivered in Vancouver in April praising Hamas and the “heroic and brave” actions carried out by the terrorists on October 7.
According to Samidoun, Kates was just one of many international activists recognised at the eighth annual Islamic Human Rights and Human Dignity Awards, which also dedicated time to honouring Ismail Haniyeh, the recently-assassinated chairman of the Hamas Political Bureau.
