Thunberg said she and other activists had been tortured in an Israeli prison.

Environmental activist Greta Thunberg announced at a press conference in Stockholm on October 8 that she and other prisoners of a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for the Gaza Strip had been tortured in an Israeli prison.

Thunberg declined to go into details about what happened to her, but noted that she did not have clean water, and other prisoners did not receive the necessary medicines.

"Personally, I don't want to talk about what I was subjected to, because I don't want it to make headlines and sound like 'Greta was tortured,' because that's not what the story is about," she told the Reuters news agency.

She stressed that her experience should not be exposed to the public, because it "pales" in comparison with what people in Gaza experience on a daily basis.

A representative of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in response to Tumberg's words, said that all detainees were given access to water, food and toilets, as well as a lawyer, and all their legal rights were respected.

Earlier, on October 1, it was reported about the landing of the Israeli military on the ships of the flotilla. After the incident, Colombia immediately denounced the free trade agreement with Israel.

Later, on October 4, it was reported that Thunberg was faced with a violation of the conditions of detention in the cell, including lack of water and food, as well as the appearance of a rash, presumably caused by bedbugs. The Swedish Embassy has reported mistreatment of the activist. Some members of the flotilla were subjected to physical and psychological violence during their detention.
