I refuse to be released on the basis of a 'condition for negotiations' and I will not accept the price for my freedom to be several meters of the land of Palestine, the land that we have fought for and been imprisoned for. I refuse to be free on the condition of the expansion of settlements. I refuse this offer, not even a single house for Zionist settlers will be built as the price of my freedom.
Ahmad Sa'adat -
This is your court and you possess the force to celebrate the trial and convict me on the basis of your lists of accusations, the public one and the secret one, and you can dictate a sentence prepared by the political and security apparatuses that are behind this trial. But I too possess a will obtained from the justice of our cause and the determination of our people to reject any decision from this 'kangaroo court'.

Maybe they will take us alive or dead. We will not surrender. Our morale is high and we will die as men.
Ahmad Sa'adat -
This is an illegal court and I won't attend it.
Ahmad Sa'adat -
This trial cannot be separated from the process of the historical struggle in Palestine that continues today between the Zionist Movement and the Palestinian people, a struggle that centers on Palestinian land, history, civilization, culture and identityAs for your judicial apparatus, which is where this court comes from: it is one of the instruments of the occupation whose function is to give the cover of legal legitimacy to the crimes of the occupation, in addition to consecrating its systems and allowing the imposition of these systems on our people through force.
Ahmad Sa'adat -
We are not going to surrender. We are going to face our destiny with courage.
Ahmad Sa'adat -
Our choice is to fight or to die. We will not surrender.
Ahmad Sa'adat -
We want to know what he has been doing over the past few years which he spent behind bars. We are not interested in punishing him but in gleaning valuable information he might have in his possession.
Ahmad Sa'adat
