The Campaign to Free Ahmad Sa'adat expresses its strongest solidarity 
with the popular movements throughout the Arab world struggling for 
freedom, dignity, social justice and freedom from dictatorship, 
subjugation and imperialism. From the first sparks of Arab revolution 
in Tunisia, the flame of revolution is spreading throughout the Arab 
homeland. We convey our strongest salutations and messages of support 
to these new Arab liberation movement, and we are certain that these 
movements will achieve victory and that many political prisoners - 
and indeed, whole countries - will find a new era of freedom and dignity.

revolution and calls for Palestinians to overthrow occupation and division

February 20, 2011

Ahmad Sa'adat, the imprisoned Palestinian national leader, 
Palestinian Legislative Council member and General Secretary of the 
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, released a message 
saluting the Egyptian revolution and its achievements, and the 
triumph of the Egyptian people over the corrupt Egyptian regime.

Sa'adat issued the message through an attorney from the Palestinian 
Prisoners' Club, who visited him on February 20, 2011. Sa'adat is 
currently in isolation in Nafha prison and has little opportunity to 
communicate with the outside world, and is often denied access to 
books and media as well as access to other prisoners and family visits.

He was eager to express his celebration of the Egyptian revolution, 
said the Prisoners Club. Sa'adat said that the Egyptian revolution is 
a triumph of the determination and will of the Egyptian people, 
particularly the youth and popular classes, and that this national 
democratic movement has begun with toppling the regime, on the path 
to liquidating all of the institutions and pockets of control of the 
old regime, which formed the mainstay of tyranny and corruption, and 
building a modern democracy over its ruins.

Sa'adat said in his message that the most important achievement of 
this revolution will be building a civil state based on the 
principles and values of freedom and democracy in its form and its 
content, social justice, drawing its legitimacy from fair and 
transparent democratic elections involving all currents of the 
Egyptian people. He emphasized the importance of mass popular 
participation in the new democratic Egypt in order to break the 
shackles of dependency in the economic and political system of 
imperialist globalization, and to restore Egypt to its role and 
status in cultural and political history as a leader and an incubator 
for the Arab liberation movement and a force to unify the Arab nation.

Sa'adat said further that it is natural that the victory of the 
people of Tunisia and Egypt have great implications for the 
liberation of the Arab people to overthrow all of the systems of 
corruption, tyranny and oppression, and that this victory will also 
have great and positive repercussions on our national cause. Sa'adat 
said that the Palestinian people now must overthrow division and 
occupation, and achieve national unity in order to rebuild the 
internal Palestinian house and in particular the Palestine Liberation 
Organization.
