SAMED

SAMED (Palestine Martyrs Works Society) is the economic institution of the PLO. It represents the PLO at economic conferences in Arab countries. SAMED is also involved in the political, cultural, and social fields.[1]

For many years, SAMED handled the distribution of cash compensation to the families of "Martyrs" killed in terrorist attacks on Israel, payments now handled by the Palestinian Authority Martyr's Fund.[2]

SAMED was set up by the PLO as a front company, a commercial and manufacturing entity. Most SAMED workshops were then in the refugee camps in northern Lebanon. Since then its activities have expanded.[3]
