Sa’di has four children,  Muhammad and Sandi are not allowed to visit her under security pretexts and Ra’fat and Dunia are allowed to visit. Her three brothers also are barred from visiting her because of  security pretexts too.

She also told the lawyer about the conditions of 37 other female captives at the Damoun and Hasharon prisons who are not allowed to receive books, not allowed to get their hand work (such as embroidery) out of prison. The captives are denied meeting their captive husbands and are not accorded proper medical treatment.

Sa’di is one of five female captives serving life in Israeli occupation jails, the other four are: Ahlam al-Tamimi, serving 16 life terms, Amena Mona, Sana’ Shehada and Dua’a al-Jahhousi.
