One person was taken into custody over what Vancouver Police say is part of a hate-crime investigation.

A statement from the department says officers from its Major Crime Section and Emergency Response Team executed a search warrant on a home in the 1800 block of East 1st Avenue on Thursday.

Police say that one person was taken into custody then released 鈥減ending completion of the investigation,鈥� which is being conducted under a section of the Criminal Code on inciting hatred.

The person was not named by police, but a Corporations Canada database shows that the registered address of Samidoun 鈥� a pro-Palestinian group the federal government recently added to its list of terrorist groups 鈥� is located in the same block as the police search.

The file names Charlotte Kates as one of Samidoun鈥檚 directors and lists her address as that of the group鈥檚 office.

Kates was arrested last year in Vancouver after praising the Oct. 7, 2023, attack by Hamas on Israel as 鈥渉eroic and brave鈥� in a speech at a rally.

Samidoun said at the time that Kates was released on the condition that she not attend any protest or rallies until an October court date, but no charges were filed by then and the conditions expired.

The Hamas attack on Israel killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, setting off Israel鈥檚 offensive in Gaza that the Health Ministry there says has killed more than 40,000 Palestinians.
