Istanbul, Oct 5: A total of 137 activists detained by Israel for attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza through a flotilla were deported and arrived in Turkey on Saturday, amid allegations that Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg was mistreated during custody.
According to Turkish foreign ministry sources, the group included 36 Turkish nationals and citizens from countries including the US, UAE, Algeria, Morocco, Italy, Kuwait, Libya, Malaysia, Mauritania, Switzerland, Tunisia, and Jordan.
Two activists — Hazwani Helmi from Malaysia and Windfield Beaver from the United States — told Reuters that they witnessed Thunberg being shoved and forced to wear an Israeli flag. “It was a disaster. They treated us like animals,” said Helmi, claiming
