Youssef Ajissa, the head of the International Committee to Break the Siege on Gaza (ICBSG), relayed on Friday testimonies from the Global Sumud Flotilla activists that were subjected to Israel’s violations during their detention following the interception of their Gaza-bound aid mission.
Some activists who were able to give testimonies confirmed that a number of participants were subjected to “sexual violence, in addition to beatings, dragging, handcuffing, and blindfolding,” Ajissa told Anadolu.
He added that “Israeli violations included sexual assaults and harassment,” as well as beatings, describing what happened as “a blatant violation of human dignity.”
“These violations reveal the true nature of the Israeli entity, its criminality, and brutality, and the extent of its danger to the region and the world,” he said.
