Paul Rose (October 16, 1943 – March 14, 2013) was a Québécois nationalist, a lecturer at Université du Québec à Montréal, convicted murderer and terrorist[1][2][3] known for his role in the October Crisis.[4] He was convicted of the kidnapping and murder by strangulation of Quebec Deputy Premier Pierre Laporte in 1970. A Quebec government commission later determined in 1980 that Rose was not present when Laporte was killed, despite a recorded confession.[5] He was the leader of the Chenier cell[6] of the Front de libération du Québec (FLQ), an armed group which was fighting what they considered the oppression of French Quebecers.
On October 10, 1970, the cell kidnapped Quebec Deputy Premier Pierre Laporte. Laporte's strangled body was found in the trunk of a car on October 17. Rose was among those convicted of the kidnapping and murder.[7]
