The horrific details of Greta Thunberg’s alleged ‘torture’ have been revealed, after she was ‘abducted’ by Israeli forces.
Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, 22, has detailed the alleged ‘harsh treatment’ she faced in Israel after being detained by forces.
The 22-year-old was removed from a flotilla carrying aid to Gaza, where she was allegedly forced to hold flags, with the identity of the flags remaining unknown.
Thunberg claims that she was detained in a cell infested with bedbugs, with little food and water.
An email sent by the Swedish foreign ministry read: “She informed of 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.”
Turkish activist Ersin Çelik, who was also onboard the flotilla, told Anadolu news agency: “They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag.
“They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others.”
She was one of 437 activists who were part of the Global Sumud flotilla, made up of 40 vessels carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza.
One Spanish activist told Reuters: “At any time that any of us called a police officer, we risked that seven or more fully armed people entered to our cell, as they did on mine, pointing us with weapons at our heads, with dogs ready to attack us, and being dragged to the floor.”
However, under Donald Trump’s proposed peace plan, Palestinians are beginning to return to Gaza’s north as the Israeli military claims that a ceasefire is now in effect.
The Israeli government approved the first phase of Trump’s ceasefire and hostage return deal, which will see aid trucks gaining access to Gaza.
Speaking at a news conference in Stockholm, Thunberg said: “Personally, I don’t want to share what I was subjected to because I don’t want it to make headlines, because that’s not the story here.”
Despite this, the young activist added that she and others were ‘kidnapped and tortured’ by the Israeli military.
Under the peace plan, Hamas has until Monday (October 13) to release all Israeli hostages, while Israel will release hundreds of Palestinian detainees.
