October 17-24: Global Week of Action in solidarity with Ahmad Sa'adat and Palestinian Prisoners

Ahmad Sa’adat, Palestinian leader, parliamentarian and General Secretary of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, has been held in Israeli jails since March 15, 2006. Before that time, he was held in Palestinian Authority jails, under US and British guard, since January 2002.

After 11 years of imprisonment of Ahmad Sa’adat, we raise our voices once more to say: Free Ahmad Sa’adat! Free Palestinian Political Prisoners!

Events will take place throughout Palestine to mark these days and stand in solidarity with Ahmad Sa’adat and the 5200 Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails.

Sa’adat spent over three years in isolation until the prisoners’ achievements in the Karameh mass hunger strike of thousands of Palestinian prisoners in April-May 2012.

On October 22, 2009, an international day of action was held in support of Ahmad Sa’adat, with events in Ireland, Italy, the US, Palestine, Denmark, Greece, Brazil, Britain and more. From October 5-15, 2010, events took place around the world marking Sa’adat’s 500th day in isolation and solitary confinement, and demanding his release. On October 18, 2011, a hunger strike that began on September 25, 2011 came to an end as 1,000 Palestinian prisonrs were freed in an exchange – and the Israeli state made later-broken promises to end isolation.

This year, from October 17-24, 2013, stand for freedom for Ahmad Sa’adat and his fellow Palestinian prisoners. Demand their release and make it clear that they are not forgotten.

Campaign to Free Ahmad Sa’adat

September 15, 2013



This is a campaign of human rights activists and concerned people from around the world, coming together to address the travesty of justice taking place, and calling for justice and freedom for Ahmad Sa'adat and all Palestinian political prisoners. We are asking you now to join us in building international solidarity for the freedom of Ahmad Sa'adat and his fellow Palestinian prisoners. Ahmad Sa'adat is a prisoner of conscience, subject to the illegitimate military courts of an illegal military occupation.

Hundreds of organizations and activists around the world have signed on to the campaign's calls for freedom for Ahmad Sa'adat and his fellow Palestinian prisoners here. Learn more about the campaign and its supporters at our website.
