Overview

• Swedish diplomats met Greta Thunberg after her detention and documented her description of poor conditions in an internal email seen by The Guardian.
• Thunberg told officials she was kept in a cell infested with bedbugs, received insufficient food and water, became dehydrated, and developed skin rashes.
• Journalists who were detained with the flotilla say Thunberg was blindfolded, handcuffed, dragged, and forced to kiss an Israeli flag during custody.
• Italian journalist Lorenzo D’Agostino reported detainees were kicked, deprived of potable water for more than two days, and held for hours in cold vehicles with tight restraints.
• Turkey-based accounts said 136 volunteers, including 26 Italians, were repatriated after arrival at Ashdod, while Thunberg remained in Israeli detention and some allegations have not been independently verified.
