APRCF Launches Survey on Legal and Police Repression of Palestine Solidarity Activism in Canada

View this in pdf format 

The anti-racism program of the CJPME Foundation (APRCF) has launched a national survey to document the legal and police repression faced by individuals involved in Palestine solidarity activism across Canada.

This anonymous, self-reporting form collects detailed experiences of:

  • Police surveillance, questioning, or arrest
  • Legal threats or prosecutions related to protests or activism
  • Use of anti-terrorism or hate speech laws against pro-Palestinian advocacy
  • Disproportionate policing of Palestine-related demonstrations
  • Encounters with security agencies such as the RCMP, CSIS, or Crown prosecutors

Why Your Participation Matters

The information gathered will be used to:

  • Identify trends in the criminalization and surveillance of Palestine solidarity activism
  • Support research and advocacy to defend civil liberties and the right to protest
  • Inform legal strategies and policy reform efforts

All responses are completely confidential. No names or identifying information are required unless voluntarily provided. Participation is entirely voluntary, and you may withdraw your contribution within two weeks of submission.

Deadline to Submit: September 30, 2025

If you have experienced or witnessed legal repression—such as arrest, surveillance, legal threats, or charges—because of your advocacy for Palestinian rights, we invite you to share your story.

    It would be also good to ask if people feel safe expressing or denouncing the Genocidal acts committed by Israel against Palestinians and the region (Lebanon and Syria), or do they self-censor themselves or stay completely silent, so as not to envoke any discriminatory or backlash actions against themselves from the start
    Thank you for making this survey..

    Very well expressed with honesty and integrity,it’s a sacred mission to stand against a horrible genocide that committed against defenceless people of Palestine with a brutal crime using hunger and violence killing thousands of innocent children,women and elderly.
    Using thugs and American mercenaries working as Mossad agents from all over the west under humanitarian assistance and forcing people to line up for food and water then been targeted by IDF criminals to hunt them down.
