Global condemnation is mounting as hundreds of international activists remain in Israeli prison days after Israel’s military raided and captured dozens of boats in the Global Sumud Flotilla. Reuters reports at least 170 flotilla activists, of the more than 400 arrested, have been deported from Israel. Many have described torture and mistreatment in Israeli custody. Swedish activist Greta Thunberg told Swedish officials she was held in a cell infested with bedbugs and deprived of food and water. Turkish activist Ersin Çelik told the Anadolu news agency that guards had “dragged little Greta by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag.” Kieran Andrieu is a British Palestinian journalist who was recently deported to Britain after being detained aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla. Andrieu says that activists faced torturous conditions in Israeli prisons. “They were throwing people’s medicine in the bin in front of them and laughing in their faces,” he says. “They were totally and utterly insensitive to the possibilities of any of us dying.”
