Samidoun’s European coordinator, Mohammed Khatib, is set to be deported from Greece, the pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel advocacy group based in Canada.
Less than a year ago, Belgium revoked his citizenship, it said.
The Greek government arrested and detained Khatib at Heraklion Airport as he was en route to a speaking engagement in Crete.
Khatib was told he was inadmissible to Greece due to reasons of “national security,” according to Samidoun, which is also known as the Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network.
The order to arrest him was issued last December 24, it said.
Samidoun is widely described by governments and security experts as a front organisation linked to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a designated terrorist organisation.
