Israel’s foreign ministry has mocked the activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla online, alleging that injuries were “staged” for the cameras after an activist pictured in a neck brace displayed a “marvellous recovery” when returning home without it. This comes as many activists have returned to their home countries after being detained and deported from Israeli custody. Multiple activists have accused Israeli forces of abuse, torture, sexual violence and even rape whilst they were held in detention.
