'Tied me up, took selfies': Greta Thunberg breaks silence on 'torture' under Israeli detention - The Times of India

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has spoken out about her alleged mistreatment while detained by Israeli authorities after participating in a flotilla aiming to deliver aid to Gaza. Thunberg described being physically abused, restrained with cable ties, and subjected to harassment, including guards taking selfies with her and threatening detainees with gassing. She also reported that her belongings were returned defaced with offensive graffiti. Despite her ordeal, Thunberg emphasized that the focus should remain on the plight of Palestinians under blockade, rather than her personal experience. Israeli officials have denied all allegations of mistreatment, stating that detainees' rights were respected during their custody.
