The Price of Freedom by Hasan Muhammad Tiro | Buku Aceh
I write this book in preparation for my death, shaheed - a witness to an idea that had
earlier been made sacred by the spilt blood of my ancestors and recently by the spilt
blood of my loyal followers.
The value of a thing is not determined by what you can do with it, but by what price
you are willing to pay for it.
Freedom means that we take full responsibility for ourselves, our people, and our
country;freedom means that we maintain the distance that separates us from others;
freedom means that we are no longer afraid of hardship, difficulties, privation or
death: he who has learned how to die can no longer become a slave or a colonial
subject.
He who wants to be free must always be ever ready to go to war and to die for his
freedom. "The free man is a warrior".
To preserve our freedom, our forefathers had suffered all, sacrificed all, dared all, and died. Now is our turn to do no less.
