Lorenzo d’Agostino, journalist and another participant in Flotile, he said after returning to Istanbul that Thunberg was wrapped to the Israeli flag and that they ‘paraded like trophies’.
Thunberg was among 437 activists, parliamentarians and lawyers as part of Global Sumud Flotile (GSF), more than 40 vessels transporting humanitarian aid, and aimed at breaking the 16-year-old Gaza’s Israeli naval blockade.
Between Thursday and Friday, the Israeli forces intercepted all the vessels and arrested all crew members on them. Most of them are kept in Ketziot, also known as Ansar III, a prison of high security in the desert Negev who is primarily used to detain the prisoners who are considered by the Israelis to members of Hamas.
In earlier attempts by humanitarian actions, activists who have been detained were not criminally prosecuted, but their presence was treated as an immigration issue.
