đ Greta Thunberg Details Alleged Mistreatment After Detention in Israel
Return to Sweden
Climate activist Greta Thunberg, 22, has returned home after
being detained by Israeli forces in early October during a Gaza-bound aid flotilla.
She told Aftonbladet that sheâs struggling with nightmares and exhaustion, saying, âMy brain doesnât work like it usually does.â
Claims of Abuse
Thunberg described harsh conditions, saying detainees were
âconfined in metal cagesâ and that guards âcompletely lack empathy and humanity.â
She claimed officers kicked her, mocked her, and scrawled âWhore Gretaâ with an Israeli flag on her suitcase.
Israelâs Response
Israelâs Foreign Ministry rejected her account as âludicrous and baseless,â
stating that Thunbergâs rights were fully respected and that she ânever lodged any complaintâ while in custody.
Wider Impact
The flotilla, part of a humanitarian mission to Gaza, reignited debate over Israelâs blockade. Supporters hailed Thunbergâs activism; critics accused her of spreading misinformation.
