Reports are emerging that Israeli authorities have abused activist Greta Thunberg while illegally holding her in detention.

Greta Thunberg beaten by Israeli authorities

On Saturday 4 October, the Israeli occupation authorities deported 137 of the kidnapped international solidarity activists who participated in the Global Sumud Flotilla to break the humanitarian siege on Gaza, in the second deportation operation in a matter of days, after returning four Italians to their country on Friday 3 October.

One of the deported activists who arrived at Istanbul airport on Saturday recounted shocking details of what he described as ‘brutal assaults’ on some activists during their detention, telling reporters:

They dragged little Greta (Thunberg) by her hair in front of our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her as a warning to others.

She’s still a little kid. They made her suffer.

Separately, the Guardian reported that an email to Swedish authorities said Greta Thunberg was suffering from:

dehydration. She has received insufficient amounts of both water and food. She also stated that she had developed rashes which she suspects were caused by bedbugs. She spoke of harsh treatment and said she had been sitting for long periods on hard surfaces.

Meanwhile, other released activists spoke of similar degrading treatment.

Turkish activist Samanur Sonmaz Yaman, a member of the flotilla, recounts details of the occupation’s oppression and abuse of veiled women from the boats:

Occupation soldiers ripped off our headscarves during our arrest and took them from us, and our non-veiled friends gave us their shirts to cover our heads.

Adalah, the legal centre that monitors the cases of detainees, said that detention conditions at Ketziot prison in the Negev desert are ‘deteriorating alarmingly,’ amid reports of ill-treatment and violence against some detainees.

A spokesperson for the organisation said that it is difficult at this stage to provide a comprehensive assessment, but confirmed that the mistreatment primarily affects non-European detainees, especially those whose countries do not have diplomatic missions in Israel.

Ongoing Israeli violence

This incident is the latest chapter in the confrontation between Israel and the international solidarity flotillas that recently set sail in an attempt to break the blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip for more than 18 years, amid growing international warnings about targeting solidarity activists and civil society activists, and the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Strip, which is suffering from famine and shortages of medicine and fuel.

Israel intercepted 40 ships in the Global Solidarity Flotilla that set sail to reach Gaza to break the blockade and deliver humanitarian aid amid the ongoing war of extermination on Gaza, which is now entering its third year.

      “Aren’t liked” is an understatement, but perhaps that was deliberate on your part.

    What on EARTH are Western Leaders doing, other than butt-kissing Zionist Israel? 😡

    That those thugs have already beaten up Greta, & are probably doing worse to those without legal representatives in or near Itsreallyhell, is bad enough, but it shows just how under the thumb our so-called Leaders are, that they’re NOT raising hell over the illegal kidnapping, & imprisonment, within International waters, of their Country men & women, let alone doing NOTHING to answer to the brutal treatment being dished out on Civilians of their respective Countries! 😡

    I wouldn’t expect ANY help from Starver, here in the UK! 😡

    As a Zionist, himself, he’s totally bought & paid for, & he’ll probably be egging those illegal swine on in their punishment of Civilians! 😡

    BUT – I expected better of European Countries, in protecting their own people! 😡

    The zionist scum appear to have most of the Western European so-called leaders under their thumb.
    Why wou.ld you expect better of the leaders of these vassal states ?
    They are pathetic, and the sheeple who continue to elect them need to wake up and see what has happened to their “democracy”..
    The UK – In particular !
